Toddler recipe: Mini shepherd’s pies

Ingrediënten

Bereidingswijze

  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 1 stick celery, diced
  • 1 yellow pepper, diced
  • pinch of cumin
  • 250g lean lamb mince (10% fat)
  • 1 courgette, diced
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée
  • 400ml low salt beef stock (we used Kallo for gluten-free pies, see tip below)
  • 100g lentils, thoroughly rinsed
  • 1.2kg Maris Piper potatoes
  • 50g butter
  • 75ml milk
  • 60g grated cheddar

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, add the onion and cook for around 5 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic, carrots, celery, pepper and cumin. Cook for a further two mins, then add the lamb. Brown the meat, tipping off any excess fat. Add the courgette and tomato purée, then fry for a few mins more. Pour in the stock, add the lentils and bring to a simmer. Cook for 40 mins, stirring from time to time.

Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Boil the potatoes for 10-15 mins until tender. Drain, then mash with the butter and milk.

Remove the lamb mixture from the heat and use a stick blender to purée. Stir as you purée, blending down the pieces of vegetables. Spoon into 8 largish individual ramekins. Top with the mash and grated cheese. The pie can now be chilled and frozen for up to a month.

Bake for 30 mins until the top is golden and the mince is bubbling up at the sides. (Cook from frozen at 160C/fan 140C/gas 3 for about 40 mins, then turn up to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 for 20-30 mins or until golden on top and piping hot in the centre.) Leave to stand for at least 10 mins before serving. Check it has cooled down sufficiently in the centre before giving it to young children.

Healthy chicken katsu curry

Ingrediënten

Bereidingswijze

  • 25g flaked almonds
  • 1 tsp cold-pressed rapeseed oil
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 300g/11oz total)
  • lime wedges, for squeezing over

For the sauce

  • 2 tsp cold-pressed rapeseed oil
  • 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • thumb-sized piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 tsp medium curry powder
  • 1 star anise
  • ¼ tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tbsp plain wholemeal flour

For the rice

  • 100g long-grain brown rice
  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced (include the green part)

For the salad

  • 1 medium carrot, peeled into long strips with a vegetable peeler
  • ⅓ cucumber, peeled into long strips with a vegetable peeler
  • 1 small red chilli, finely chopped (deseeded if you don’t like it too hot)
  • juice ½ lime
  • small handful mint leaves
  • small handful coriander leaves
  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cook the brown rice in plenty of boiling water for 35 mins or until very tender.
  • Crush the almonds using a pestle and mortar, or blitz in a food processor until finely chopped, then sprinkle over a plate. Grease a small baking tray with a little of the oil. Brush the chicken on both sides with the remaining oil and season well. Coat the chicken with the nuts and place on the tray. Press any remaining nuts from the plate onto each breast. Bake for 20 mins or until browned and cooked through. Rest for 4-5 mins on the tray, then slice thickly.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat the oil in a medium non-stick saucepan and add the onion, garlic and ginger. Loosely cover the pan and fry gently for 8 mins or until softened and lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid for the final 2 mins, and don’t let the garlic burn.
  • Stir in the curry powder, star anise, turmeric and a good grinding of black pepper. Cook for a few secs more, stirring. Sprinkle over the flour and stir well. Gradually add 400ml water to the pan, stirring constantly.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally. If it begins to splutter, cover loosely with a lid. Remove the pan from the heat and blitz the sauce with a stick blender until very smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Keep warm.
  • Once the rice is tender, add the spring onions and cook for 1 min more. Drain well, then leave to stand for a few mins while you make the salad. Toss the carrot and cucumber with the chilli, lime juice and herbs.
  • Divide the sliced chicken between two plates, pour over the sauce and serve with the rice, salad and lime wedges for squeezing over.

Dried-Porcini-Mushroom Risotto with Goat Cheese

Ingrediënten

Bereidingswijze

  • 1 cup dried porcini or other dried mushrooms (about 1 ounce)
  • 3 cups hot water, more if needed
  • 3 1/2 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock, more if needed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups arborio rice
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
  • 2 ounces mild goat cheese, such as Montrachet, crumbled
  • Grated Parmesan, for serving

Put the dried mushrooms in a medium bowl and pour the hot water over them. Soak until softened, about 20 minutes. Remove the mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid, and chop them. Strain the liquid through a paper-towel-lined sieve into a medium saucepan. Add the broth to the pan and bring to a simmer. Step 2

In a medium pot, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped mushrooms, the rice, and the salt and stir until the rice begins to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Step 3

Add about 1/2 cup of the simmering broth to the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the broth has been completely absorbed. The rice and broth should bubble gently; adjust the heat as needed. Continue cooking the rice, adding broth 1/2 cup at a time and allowing the rice to absorb it before adding the next 1/2 cup. Cook the rice in this way until tender, 25 to 30 minutes in all. The broth that hasn’t been absorbed should be thickened by the starch from the rice. You may not need to use all of the liquid, or you may need more broth or some water. Step 4

Stir in the butter, pepper, and goat cheese. Serve the risotto with grated Parmesan.
