Meat dishes for children 1 year old

Vegetable soup 2

Ingredients for 500 ml of water:

1 potato
100 g cauliflower
100 g white cabbage
1 carrot

Wash all the vegetables, chop them and place them in boiling water one by one. First we put the carrots, then the potatoes, then the cauliflower. We put white cabbage at the very end. Cook until done. We rub the vegetables through a sieve or blend them in a blender with the addition of broth. Can be served with homemade croutons and herbs. For older children, you can add garlic.

Vegetable stew with egg

Vegetable stew is the healthiest dish. This stew recipe is enriched with egg, which gives it more nutrition and nutritional value. For your child, you can use any seasonal vegetables that can be found at the market, in the garden or in the supermarket.

Products:

2 eggplant slices
2 rings of red bell pepper
10 zucchini slices
3 cherry tomatoes
1 egg
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
2 basil leaves
salt

Cooking steps

Cream soup with zucchini

Ingredients:

1 potato
1 small zucchini
½ onion
1 tbsp. spoon of green peas
1 teaspoon butter
greenery
salt

Wash all the vegetables, peel them, cut them into small pieces and put them in boiling water. Cook until done for about 20 minutes (put the zucchini at the end, it cooks for about 5-7 minutes). Beat with a blender, add a little salt and butter. Decorate with finely chopped herbs. You can also add half a finely grated boiled yolk.

Baby menu at 7 months

Wash the vegetables, cut off the inedible parts (for cabbage - hard stalks, spoiled inflorescences, for zucchini - the stalk and skin), cut into small pieces and place in an even layer on the bottom of the steamer bowl. It is advisable to cover the entire bottom of the bowl so that there are no “gaps”; if there are larger pieces, place them around the edges of the bowl. Fill the reservoir with water up to about.

Depending on the model of your steamer, set the timer to the required time (check the instructions) - usually 20 - 25 minutes is enough.

There is no need to add salt to baby purees - firstly, you will prevent the baby from fully experiencing the authentic taste of vegetables. And secondly, the natural content of sodium chloride in natural vegetables is optimal for a baby under 1 year of age, and adding salt from outside can turn a dish from healthy into its opposite. Don’t be afraid that the new dish will seem bland to your child - his taste by nature is much more subtle than yours, corrupted by tons of salt and sugar eaten throughout your life.

The same goes for vegetable oil. There is no need to add it to vegetable puree for a 7-month-old baby, since the baby still has enough of the fats that he consumes with mother's milk or an adapted milk formula. Starting next month, you will start adding a couple of drops of vegetable oil to its puree - but for now there is no need to create additional stress on the fragile gastrointestinal tract. The situation with butter is similar, with the only difference being that it should appear in the baby’s life a month or two later than vegetable oil.

Once the vegetables are cooked until soft (they should be pierced with a fork or toothpick without the slightest effort), remove them from the steamer bowl and cool slightly. Then you need to give them a homogeneous state using a blender.

A child at 7 months is not yet able to chew solid food, so the puree should have a fairly liquid consistency - like cream. To dilute the puree, you can use either clean boiled water or broth from cooking the same vegetables. Since we did not cook in a pan, but by steaming, there was no broth left, so we bring the puree consistency to the desired consistency using prepared water.

In vegetable puree for a 7-month-old baby, only 2 ingredients are appropriate: one type of vegetable and water!

Smoothies, so popular in recent years, are an ideal example of the consistency of the first purees for feeding babies.

It is not possible to indicate the exact proportions of vegetables and water in this recipe, but every mother will certainly not make a mistake - the main thing is to add water little by little to the finished puree.

Fruit puree for a 7 month old baby

Unlike vegetable purees, baby's first fruit purees can be made from raw fruits. Pediatricians advise starting to introduce babies to the least allergenic fruits: apples, pears (especially for babies prone to stomach upsets) or bananas. It is preferable to choose yellow or green varieties of apples (Golden, Simirenko, etc.); red ones, as the most allergenic, are best left for later.

Rice and carrot soufflé

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. spoons of rice
1/2 cup water
1 small carrot
1/2 egg
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tbsp. spoons of milk
1/2 teaspoon butter

Wash the rice and cook a semi-viscous porridge in water. Add melted butter, egg yolk, mashed with sugar and diluted with milk, and finely grated carrots. Mix everything, carefully add the beaten egg whites into the resulting mass, transfer to a greased form, and place in a water bath for 35-40 minutes.

Cutlet recipes for a 1 year old child

They choose a suitable cooking method, taking into account the child’s age and taste preferences. But it is important not only to make delicious cutlets for children, but also to serve them with a healthy side dish. The classic “cutlet-potato” combination is too complex and difficult for children’s gastrointestinal tract. Meat will be more beneficial and digest better if served with vegetables; porridge or pasta is also suitable.

Beef cutlets

Steaming time is a quarter of an hour, in the oven - 20-25 minutes. If you cook in the oven, pour the remaining milk over the cutlets, so they will remain juicy and not dry out.

Liver pancakes

Children do not really like liver and dishes made from it because of its specific taste and aroma. However, this product is useful for kids of all ages. You can introduce liver cutlets or pancakes into your child’s menu after 2 years of age. The following components are required for preparation:

300 g chicken or beef liver,
1 egg
30 g cheese,
a few green onions.

The liver and onion must be chopped and twisted in a meat grinder.
Add the egg to the mixture and add salt.
Place parchment paper on a baking sheet, then the formed pancakes.
Top with three cheeses and bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.

Turkey cutlets

Children over 1.5 years old can try the dish. The cutlets turn out nourishing, and at the same time tender and juicy. All you need to do is prepare the following ingredients:

100 g turkey meat,
half an onion
1 tbsp. l. rice, boiled until half cooked,
1 egg
salt, herbs.

We pass the poultry fillet through a meat grinder twice.
Add rice, finely chopped herbs, egg and milk to the minced meat. Salt and mix.
Shape the cutlets and cook in a double boiler for half an hour.

Fish cutlets

Many children love fish dishes more than their meat counterparts. Cutlets made from lean fillets of sea or river fish will definitely appeal to babies over 12 months old. To prepare them you will need:

100 g fish fillet,
7 g butter,
a piece of bread soaked in milk
salt,
greenery.

We make minced meat by passing fish fillets and bread through a meat grinder.
Add oil, herbs, salt.
We wet our hands in water and form fish balls. Bake the cutlets in the oven for a quarter of an hour or cook in a double boiler for 20 minutes.

Carrot cutlets

A very simple and budget-friendly recipe is vegetable cutlets. They can be introduced into the diet of babies up to one year old, at the age of 8–9 months. Carrots are a source of vitamin A and various microelements. You can make cutlets if you have them on hand:

4 young carrots,
1 chicken egg or 2 quail eggs,
1 tbsp. l. semolina or chopped oatmeal,
75 ml milk,
salt, sugar,
breadcrumbs for breading.

Peel the carrots, wash them and cut them into small cubes.
Add salt, sugar and semolina to it.
Pour milk over carrots and simmer for 15–25 minutes. Don't forget to stir.
Add the egg yolk to the cooled mixture.
Form cutlets, roll in breadcrumbs and bake for 20 minutes in the oven.

Vegetable cutlets made from cabbage

Cabbage cutlets or lazy cabbage rolls are a complete dish that does not require a side dish. It must be cooked in the oven or by stewing. For preparation we use:

50 g minced chicken,
50 g finely shredded cabbage,
half an onion
1 tbsp. l. boiled rice,
1 egg
salt,
1 tbsp. l. sour cream.

Mix the minced meat with cabbage, add onion, cut into small cubes.
Add rice and egg to the mixture.
Salt the resulting mass and mix.
We form flat cakes, place them in a frying pan, add sour cream and simmer for half an hour.

Over time, the mother recognizes the baby’s preferences and can use cutlets as a means of disguising foods the baby doesn’t like. For example, adding broccoli to minced meat will make the meat dish juicier and brighter. Cutlets made from oatmeal and cauliflower are tasty and unusual. Don't be afraid to experiment. It is important that when choosing a heat treatment option, the beneficial properties of the ingredients are not lost.

Beef recipes for kids

Meat soufflé

Products: for 200 g of beef meat (better than tenderloin, it is softer) you will need 2 tablespoons of milk, the same amount of flour, 1 egg and a teaspoon of butter.

The beef must be thoroughly cleaned of films and tendons, and then boiled. Next, you should pass it through a meat grinder (or grind it with a blender), and then mix it with the rest of the ingredients (except protein) until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Important! The protein is added in whipped form at the very end of mixing - this must be done very carefully so that the dish remains airy. Bake for half an hour in a mold previously coated with melted butter.

Meatballs for kids

They are ideal for adding to first courses. You will need: 200 g of meat, 50 g of bread, a quarter glass of milk, an yolk, a teaspoon of butter.

Steam cutlets

For 100 g of beef, cleared of films and fat, you will need 20 g of bread and 2 tablespoons of water. Grind the meat using a meat grinder, then prepare minced cutlets. It must be salted and then ground again. Make cutlets and place them on a steamer rack. If you don't have one, you can use a colander placed in a pan of water. After boiling, reduce heat and cook until tender.

Meat pudding

For 100 g of meat you will need 30 g of loaf soaked in milk or water (it is better to take only the pulp, without the crust), 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 egg.

Grind the meat and loaf in a meat grinder, then add a pinch of salt and milk with the yolk. Add the protein carefully - first beat it into a stable foam. Bake in a mold that has been pre-greased with butter and sprinkled with breadcrumbs.

Precautionary measures

Beef is rich in purine bases, which are converted into uric acid in the body. Its excessive accumulation can cause gout or osteochondrosis, and the likelihood of developing other diseases also increases.

People constantly debate whether it is necessary to eat meat dishes for a person’s normal well-being. Some claim that it is extremely useful, others say that you can live without it, eating only plant foods. Adults decide for themselves whether to eat meat or not. But what about the child? Is meat good for children's bodies? Yes, for proper growth and development, every child needs not only vitamins and amino acids found only in meat, but also animal proteins, which are the “building blocks” for a young growing organism.

But in order for a small child not to refuse to eat meat dishes, they must be tasty, and in order for them to truly be the material for the creation of his cells and tissues, meat must be able to cook properly. Here at the House of Knowledge we present 7 excellent recipes for meat dishes that are guaranteed to please a child under 1 year old.

To prepare delicious ground meat for your baby:

Grind through a meat grinder or grind well in a blender boiled meat (50g), previously cleared of fat and all films.
