Ingredients
Vegetarian Millet Porridge with Egg
- Ingredients
- 4 small potatoes (each about 50 grams)
- 3 Parsnips (each about 100 grams)
- 1 small sweet Apple (about 100 grams)
- 1 cup Apple juice
- 4 Tbsps Millet flake (about 40 grams)
- 1 egg
- 4 Tbsps Canola oil
Peel potatoes and parsnips and cut into small dice.
Rinse the apple, peel, quarter, core and cut into small dice.
Put potatoes, parsnips and apple in a pot. Add 250 ml (approximately 1 cup) water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over medium heat until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Stir in apple juice and millet flakes and let cook until flakes are tender, about 3 minutes more.
Whisk egg in a small bowl with a fork, then add to porridge and bring to a boil while stirring so that the egg coagulates.
Remove from heat and puree with an immersion blender.
Stir in the oil and let cool slightly. Feed 1 serving immediately; let the rest cool completely and freeze in single-serve portions.

Healthy, because
Even without meat, your child gets enough protein for its growth here, because eggs and potatoes have the highest biological value. This means: Their amino acids cover our needs better than the famous "little steak".
Even smarter
If your baby has a rather soft stool, you can replace the parsnips with carrots. Good alternatives are also pumpkin or (from 8 months) green peas from the freezer.
