Today, I decided to cook a chili con carne. I love this dish, but of course, I had to adapt it for Alix because a dish that is too spicy doesn’t work, and that’s perfectly normal! Additionally, I didn’t include red kidney beans, as they can be difficult to digest, especially for a child. Instead, I replaced them with green beans…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Bean Chili Con Carne Recipe for Babies (From 12 months)<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is ideal for children who are starting to eat on their own with a spoon, especially for those who enjoy having pieces to chew on! The tomato puree acts as a binder and helps make the dish easier to swallow and less dry. If your baby is not yet comfortable with pieces in this type of preparation, wait a bit, there’s no rush! (See here: Baby refuses to eat solids<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We serve this chili con carne with rice. It’s a warm dish that is perfect for the whole family, so don’t hesitate to prepare it in large quantities!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corn, tomato, green beans, rice, meat… we have everything we need for a complete dish for the baby \ud83d\ude42 I even add a bit of cheddar cheese at the end because my little gourmand at home loves it (and we know who she takes after…^^)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what you need to cook this green bean chili con carne recipe for babies (From 12 months, for 1 serving):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 3 tbsp ground beef (20g)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 0.35 oz onion (10g)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 4 oz tomato puree (120ml)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 0.88 oz corn (25g)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 0.88 oz green beans (25g)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 0.7 oz uncooked rice (20g)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 pinch of cheddar cheese<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tsp olive oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    We start with our green beans. We wash them, remove the stems, and steam them for 8 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We cook the rice. I like to add some extra cooking time so that the rice absorbs enough water and isn’t too dry, making it easier for the baby to chew! I also like to cook it at the same time as my steamed vegetables, using the same cooking water. It’s eco-friendly, cost-effective, and allows the rice to soak up the nutrients from the vegetables that end up in the cooking water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Meanwhile, we take care of our onion. We peel it and then thinly slice 0.35 oz of it. We heat a teaspoon of oil in a pan and saut\u00e9 our onion for about one to two minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n

    We add the meat to our pan and brown it for 1 to 2 minutes as well. We don’t want it to be too dry either!<\/p>\n\n\n

    Next, we add our tomato puree and mix everything together. We let it simmer on low heat.<\/p>\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Next, we add the corn to the pan, mix it in, and continue cooking over low heat for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once our green beans are cooked, we cut them into small pieces and add them to our pan.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Off the heat, we add a teaspoon of olive oil, mix it in, and then pour the chili con carne mixture over the previously cooked rice. We sprinkle a pinch of grated cheddar on top, and voila:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It’s ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ideally served for lunch, and the whole family can enjoy it by scaling up the quantities \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our recipe of green bean chili con carne for babies (From 12 months) is now complete, and they can enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Bon app\u00e9tit, baby!<\/p>\n\n\n
