Lentil and Vegetable Stew image

This is a great recipe for toddlers, especially if you are vegetarian or have a baby who is not fussed on eating meat. My grandson refuses to chew meat (now aged 19 mths) so we are always looking for ways to make sure he gets an adequate diet. These simple ingredients cook up easily and the recipe makes at least 10 servings and is good to freeze.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon oil
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 garlic clove
1 potato, large peeled and diced

1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon oregano, dried
600 ml vegetable stock

Steps:

  • Heat oil and fry onions and garlic until softened but not browned.

This stew is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's packed with carrots, celery, onions, and tomatoes, and the lentils add a nice boost of protein. I also love the addition of coconut milk, which gives the stew a creamy, rich flavor.
