Cheesy Vegetable and Brown Rice Pot Baby Led Weaning

Ingredients:

• 1 medium carrot, chopped into small chunks
• 1 medium parsnip, chopped into small chunks
• 1-2 tsps of mixed herbs
• 1/2 cup (90g) of brown rice
• 1 cup (around 75g) of grated cheddar cheese

Method:

1. In a small saucepan, sautee your carrots and parsnips in a little olive oil or butter to start softening them.
2. Add herbs and brown rice, and cook for another minute or so, until fragrant.
3. Add 1 and 1/2 cups (350mls) of water.
4. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 40 minutes, until the rice is cooked.
5. Stir in the cheese until melted.
6. OPTIONAL – you can use a fork to mash up the carrot and parsnip pieces if you prefer a more uniform texture. They are very soft and will easily disintegrate with a little encouragement.
