CHECK that ALL ingredients bear the Soy-Free label Cook the green lentils in unsalted water until very tender (25 min) Cook the beetroot until very tender, peel and dice into 1.5 cm cubes Mix the rice flour with water to make a smooth batter Cut the pineapple into small cubes (remove any hard core) Take all ingredients out 20 min before (room temperature) Cutting board Paring knife Kitchen scale Mixing bowl Steamer pot Do NOT buy a product without reading the label Do not cut too large: choking hazard Do not leave tough beetroot skins Do not give pineapple chunks to under 24 months Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden soy Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (1 cm) Test cooking with a fork: beetroot should be melting-tender KEEP PACKAGING of sensitive products to prove soy-free Check LABELS even for 'obvious' products (e.g. rice flour sometimes contains soy lecithin) Take out 30 min before for better incorporation 2
