Toddler – Roasted piedmont peppers with feta cheese

Neven Maguire

Although the stalks of the peppers are not edible they do look attractive and help the peppers keep their shape. They make a fantastic starter or lovely side dish for a barbecue.

Serves 8

To Serve: Transfer the peppers to a serving plate and spoon over all the cooking juices. Scatter over the feta cheese and garnish with the basil leaves and serve warm or at room temperature. Cut the peppers into little pieces that your toddler can pick up with his hands.

Potato cakes are absolutely delicious and a great way of using up some leftover mashed potatoes. You can swap the parsnips and shallots with salmon or chicken.

This is a fantastic recipe for breakfast, lunch or even supper and is so quick to prepare and cook. Avoid overcooking the eggs by stirring constantly with a balloon whisk and remember to keep pulling the mixture away from the sides

Serves 2-3

To Serve: Alter the consistency, depending on the stage of weaning, your baby is at. For older babies who are able for soft finger foods, serve the scrambled egg topped with a cherry tomato and with 1-2 thin toasted strips on the side.
