Ingredients

  • 1 medium carrot (80g), peeled and chopped

  • 1 cup water (240 ml)
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)

Preparation

  1. Rinse red lentils and peel and dice carrot into small pieces.

  3. Blend or mash into a thick spoonable consistency without hard carrot centres.

  4. Stir in optional olive oil and check texture.

  5. Cool before serving.

Serving by Age

Offer soft moist spoonfuls, not thin watery broth or firm lentil pieces.

7 months+

This recipe is listed for 7m+, so the 6m+ field does not recommend serving it earlier. Within the listed age range and when your baby can manage the texture, blend to a very smooth, thin puree and offer on a spoon; add extra warm water if needed for a silky texture.

9 months+

Serve slightly thicker as a smooth soup or soft mash; offer on a spoon or a preloaded spoon for self-feeding.
