- 5

Let it cool, cut into age-appropriate small pieces and serve; if it is the first time, start with a small portion.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Beef mince is a source of protein and iron; potato, with its soft texture and energy, becomes a filling base for young children. Carrot, zucchini and tomato add colour, fibre and vitamins. Baking rather than frying can help make it a lighter meal.
