Lamb Carrot Couscous Bowl for Babies (8 months+)

Preparation

1. 1

   Steam or simmer finely chopped carrot until it crushes easily with a fork.

2. 2

   Cook raw lamb mince separately, breaking up clumps until fully cooked; check ground lamb reaches at least 71°C (160°F) in the centre.

3. 3

   Hydrate the dry couscous in a separate bowl using freshly boiled water and the packet's ratio and timing; fluff and check that no dry grains remain.

4. 4

   Mix cooked carrot, finely crumbled lamb and fully tender couscous, adding safe water if needed for a moist spoonable mash.

5. 5

   Stir in optional olive oil, check for chewy meat or firm grains, and cool before feeding.
