If you want to test out if your little one is a seafood fan, then this is the perfect dish to test the waters with. This fish dish is not only delicious but packed with all the vitamin and nutrients your child needs.

Ingredients

  • 100g boneless fish fillets, chopped
  • ¼ cup (30g) frozen peas
  • ½ small (35g) carrot, chopped
  • 2 tbsp finely grated cheddar cheese

Step by step

  • Place fish, peas and carrot in a small saucepan; cover with water; place over high heat; bring to the boil; simmer until fish is cooked through and carrot is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain; reserve ½ cup (125mL) cooking liquid.

  • Using a fork, mash, adding enough reserved cooking liquid for required consistency; for younger babies, simply puree in a food processor or blender until smooth, adding more reserved cooking liquid if necessary to achieve the required consistency.

    TIP: This recipe can be doubled and extra servings can be placed in airtight containers and frozen for later use.
