Ingredients
⅓ small onion, peeled (20g)
⅓ medium red pepper, deseeded (25g)
⅓ small sweet potato, peeled (45g)
1 tbsp green beans, trimmed (17g)
1 tsp vegetable oil
60g tinned chopped tomatoes
70g tinned kidney beans, drained
½ heaped tsp peanut butter (7g)
Pinch of chilli powder
60ml water
1 small slice wholemeal bread (1 portion)
1 tsp vegetable oil spread
Method
Chop the onion, pepper and sweet potato. Trim the beans and cut in half.
Heat the oil in a pan. Add the onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients, bring to the boil, cover and then simmer (stirring occasionally) for about 20 minutes until the vegetables are cooked.
Chop or mince the stew. Spread the bread with the vegetable oil spread, cut into fingers.
Place quarter of the stew in a bowl and serve with a spoon and the bread on the side.
Weaning tip Give your baby sips of water with their meals – rather than sweet drinks which can cause tooth decay.
