Slow beef and vegetable stew
- Age: 12–18 months (Family food)

- Makes: 2 adults and 2 children
Ingredients
- 500 g stewing beef, diced
- 2 carrots, chunks
- 2 potatoes, chunks
- 1 onion
- 2 tbsp tomato purée
- 500 ml unsalted stock
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Brown the beef in the oil; add the onion, purée, stock and bay leaf.
- Cover and cook at 160 °C for 2 hours; add the carrot and potato for the last 45 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaf. Shred your child's beef and mash the vegetables a little; salt the adults'.
