I found this recipe in a baby cookbook and modified it a little. Our children still love it and we just call it "the meat with baby food". It uses a jar of Hipp early carrots. It is really tasty and very quick to prepare, why not give it a try:
Turkey à la Pesto and Baby Food Recipe – a meal for children
Ingredients:
- 500 g turkey or chicken
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 small jar of red pesto
- 1 small jar of baby food early carrots
- 4 tbsp tomato paste
- 100 ml vegetable broth
- 150 g sour cream or crème fraîche
- a little soy sauce
- Salt and pepper
Instructions:
Cut the meat into small, bite-sized pieces and fry in a little oil. Once the meat is no longer pink, add the tomato paste and roast briefly. Then add the pesto, the early carrot puree, and the vegetable broth and let it simmer for a while. Caution: Put a lid on, it splashes a little. Finally, mix in the sour cream, a dash of soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Extra tip:Also tastes good with salmon fillet
Variation:If you don't like sliced meat, you can also make the meat as a roast. Preheat the oven to 100 °C. For this, rub, for example, 800 g of turkey breast in one piece all over with salt, pepper, and paprika powder (sweet). Briefly sear the turkey all over in a pan with 2 tbsp of oil, remove, and let cool. Now mix the pesto with the tomato paste and spread 1/3 of the mixture on the roast. Place the roast in an open dish and cook at 100 °C for approx. 3 hours. For the sauce, roast the remaining pesto mix in a pot, deglaze with the early carrots and the broth, and let it reduce a little. Finally, add a dash of soy sauce and the sour cream. Slice the roast into thin slices and serve together with the sauce.
Rice with peas and carrots goes very well with this.
