Healthy, because
Your baby gets the important iron here from sesame seeds - and thanks to vitamin C from paprika and orange, it can also optimally utilise it. The wholemeal rice stimulates digestion with its fibre.
Even smarter
Let 1 portion cool down a little and feed it fresh, keep a 2. portion in the refrigerator for the next lunch and freeze 2 portions.
