Once your baby is comfortable eating red meat, around 6 months, you can begin preparing meals for your baby from the main meal. Meals need to be bland and the right texture for your baby, but flavours can be 'revved' up at the end of cooking for the rest of the family, as indicated in this recipe.

1 and ½ cups reduced-salt beef stocki
1 potato

Method
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and brown the lamb.
Add the stock, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Simmer gently to ensure the meat remains tender.
Add the potato and cook a further 30 minutes before adding the cauliflower. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
Add the peas and heat through. Total cooking time is approximately 1½ hours.
Serve with rice.
Smooth Stage (Babies around 6 months) - Purée the meat and vegetable mixture. Mix with a little of baby’s milk if necessary to achieve a smooth consistency.
Mashed Stage (Babies 7 to 8 months) - Purée the meat, vegetables and rice together to a lumpy, mashed consistency.
Chopped Stage (Babies from 8 months) - Cut the meat and vegetables into smaller pieces and serve them separately so your baby can begin to distinguish different tastes and textures.
Toddlers & Family Foods (From 12 months) - When browning the lamb, add a diced onion. Add 1 tsp of curry paste and 2 Tbsp sultanas with the stock. Cut up sultanas as necessary.
