My friend's little girl has just turned 1. She happily munches on solids (blended vegetables), but she's struggling to get her to eat rice. I came up with an idea to make rice more palatable for her daughter and even fed her this naturally-sweet 'rice pudding' myself.
Happy baby, happy times.
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Makes: 3 full bowls
Ingredients
100g wholegrain basmati rice
1 vanilla pod
Tsp peanut butter
Pinch of sea salt
Method
Place the rice in a saucepan and simmer for 20 minutes.
Transfer the rice along with the vanilla and salt to a blender, blitz until smooth.
Pour the blended rice back into the saucepan and allow to reduce for 15 minutes.
Add the peanut butter, stir once and allow to reduce for another 5 minutes.
Allow to cool, then spoon this protein rich, fibrous mix into your babys mouth and watch them drool with delight.
This recipe makes 3 full medium sized bowl servings. To save waste, store this in the fridge for up to three days.
