Lamb and vegetable pilaf

Lamb and vegetable pilaf

Ingredients

  • 300 g lamb, diced small
  • 200 g rice
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 4 tbsp peas
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 500 ml unsalted stock
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Contains: None of the common allergens

Method

  1. Brown the lamb in the oil with the onion; add the spices and carrot.
  2. Add the rice and stock; cover and simmer 25 minutes until the rice is soft and the liquid absorbed. Add the peas for the last 5.
  3. Chop your child's lamb small; salt the adults' plates.
Safety: Lamb cooked through and chopped small. Cool cooked rice quickly. Serve your child's portion first, then salt the rest for the adults. Under three, the daily limit is about 2 g of salt in total.
Storage: Eat the day it is made.
Tip: One pot, Middle Eastern spicing, and rice that clumps for small hands.
