Our dd is eating well and has tried lamb, chicken, beef and lots of veggie recipes but would like some ideas for pork that i can cook and freeze. Any ideas?

Hi Sophiewd!!

Got one here for you, however haven't tried it myself yet. Perhaps you could experiment and let me know!

• Half a dessert apple, cored and diced
  
• 100mls (3.5 fl oz) water
  
• 85g (3oz) lean pork chop, diced
  
• 1 medium parsnip, peeled and cut into thin slices
  
• 100g (3.5 oz) swede, peeled and diced
  
• cooled, bolied water to thin
  
  Put water in saucepan and bring to boil. Add all of the ingredients. Cover with tight lid and simmer for at least 15 minutes until meat cooked through and veg soft. Puree with cooking water. Add cooled, boiled water to thin if necessary.
  Suitable for freezing.

When i introduced pork, I tended to use a minced version and just substitute it with receipes I already used with beef/chicken - shepherds pie, spag bol that lind of thing. Otherwise I used to do a mix of finely diced pork chops with pots and veg

hi sophie,
i have that recipe too, but am wondering if i can be lazy. am new to mumsnet so not sure if i can introduce a topic within a topic so pls excuse ignorance. i have masses of frozen fruit and veg cubes inc the apple, parsnip and swede needed for this recipe, and wonder if i could simply cook pork seperately and add it to existing cubes. My question is what ratio of meat cubes to veg cubes should i give? my lo is 7 months old? thanks for the advice

You can definitely do that, I would suggest more veg than meat at first - how many cubes does your lo eat at a meal?

Hi Claire
My LO is 7 months old - she has 4 cubes at mealtimes. I give her a cube of meat/protein, a cube of potato and 2 cubes of veg.
