Mini beef meatballs
- Age: 10–12 months (Self-feeding)
- Texture: Finger food
- Prep: 8 min

Ingredients
- 150 g beef mince
- 1 small carrot, grated
- 2 tbsp fine oats
- 1 pinch dried oregano
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Contains: Wheat
Method
- Mix the mince, carrot, oats and oregano with your hands.
- Roll into small balls and flatten each into a disc.
- Cook in the oil, turning, 8–10 minutes until no pink remains. Cool.

Tip: Beef in the most toddler-friendly shape there is. Discs, not balls.
