Ingredients

  • 40g lean beef mince
  • 1/2 parsnip, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tbsp cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup water or low-sodium homemade stock
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)

Preparation

  1. Use the measured two tablespoons of already cooked rice; if making it from dry, cook completely first and measure after cooking.

  2. Peel and dice parsnip, simmer until it crushes easily with a fork.

  3. Cook beef mince separately, breaking up clumps until thoroughly cooked with no raw centre.

  4. Combine cooked rice, parsnip and finely crumbled beef; mash with safe water or unsalted stock until moist and cohesive.

  5. Stir in optional oil, cool and refrigerate any untouched rice portion promptly.

Serving by Age

Serve a moist, spoonable mash or soft manageable pieces suited to developmental skills. Check for chewy meat fibres. Avoid sticky compacted rice clumps. Do not offer firm, round or hard pieces.

9 months+

Serve as a thicker mash or with small, very soft lumps to encourage chewing skills.

Food safety check

  • Cook beef, lamb, pork and veal all the way through: minced meat to 71°C (160°F) with no pink left, and diced or whole cuts to at least 63°C (145°F) followed by a 3-minute rest, if you use a thermometer.

The listed plain ingredients do not intentionally include a major common allergen; check packaged ingredients, broth and optional additions individually.

Storage

Cool untouched cooked rice within one hour and refrigerate or freeze promptly. If refrigerated, use within 24 hours; reheat once until steaming hot throughout, stir and cool before serving. Discard anything left in the feeding bowl.
