CHECK silken tofu freshness (smell, texture) Break the silken tofu into regular 2 cm pieces (finer for 12-18 months) WASH yellow bell pepper and PEEL (baby cannot digest skin) Cut the pepper into regular 1.5 cm cubes Cook the bulgur as directed (10-12 min)
Peel clementine and REMOVE ALL MEMBRANES and seeds (CRITICAL - choking hazard)
Take all ingredients out 20 min before (room temperature) Cutting board Paring knife Kitchen scale Mixing bowl Steamer pot Do NOT serve if baby is soy-allergic Do NOT serve if baby is gluten-allergic CRITICAL: clementine membranes and seeds are choking hazard Yellow pepper skin is hard to digest Do not cut too large: choking hazard Always use VERY MILD cinnamon dose Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (1 cm) CRITICAL: confirm NO soy AND NO gluten allergy before serving ALWAYS remove all clementine membranes and seeds Always peel yellow bell pepper for baby Take out 30 min before for better incorporation 2
Mix the cooked bulgur and pepper cubes in a large bowl Add the silken tofu pieces and clementine segments, mix gently Add the plain yogurt as binder Pour in the olive oil and cinnamon Mix with a wooden spoon Prepare bamboo skewers (soak in water 10 min) Cut parchment paper into rectangles (15x20 cm) Thread ingredients on skewers alternating tofu, clementine, pepper Place each skewer on a parchment rectangle Bamboo skewers Parchment paper Large bowl Wooden spoon Tray Do not overmix: silken tofu breaks Do not forget to soak skewers (fire risk) Do not make skewers too dense (cooking) Always check clementine membranes are removed Always peel yellow bell pepper for baby Always check yogurt freshness If the dough is too sticky: add 1 tsp rice flour If too dry: add 1 tsp liquid (water or adapted milk) Soak skewers to prevent burning Parchment makes papillote cooking easier Make alternating colors for visual appeal For 24-36 months: bigger pieces on skewers 3
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan Fold the parchment paper to seal each papillote Place papillotes on a baking sheet Bake in the middle of the oven for 14 min Meanwhile, prepare the cinnamon sauce: yogurt + pinch cinnamon + 1 tsp olive oil Mix the sauce well and chill Open papillotes carefully (steam!) Remove the skewers when golden Let cool 3-4 min Test the temp with a finger: warm Serve immediately with the sauce on the side Baking sheet Fork Tongs Small bowl Timer Pastry brush Do not forget to preheat Do not overcrowd papillotes BE CAREFUL opening papillote (steam burns) Do not overcook: tofu becomes hard Do not serve sauce too warm (kills probiotics) Always use VERY MILD cinnamon dose Check cooking: golden brown outside, tofu cooked through For 12-18 months: more moist cooking For 24-36 months: more golden cooking BE CAREFUL when opening papillote (steam burns) If browning too fast: lower to 160°C Sauce: serve cold to preserve probiotics 4
FINAL CHECK: confirm NO soy AND NO gluten allergy + clementine peeled Prepare a fresh clementine segment garnish (no membranes) Arrange the warm skewers on baby's plate (remove from skewer for younger babies) Add small clementine pieces around (no membranes) Serve the cinnamon sauce in a small separate bowl Show how to pick up the pieces Serve warm Watch baby during the meal Monitor allergy signs (rash, swelling - soy/gluten) Put leftovers in the fridge Baby plate Small bowl + suction cup Spoon Non-slip cloth Phone (emergency) Do not serve burning hot FINAL CHECK for soy/gluten allergy + clementine membranes Always serve clementine WITHOUT membranes Do not leave baby alone with skewer (injury risk) Do not reheat several times NEVER serve tofu/bulgur to allergic baby Serve warm: flavors are more developed Clementine adds color and natural sweetness For 12-18 months: remove pieces from skewer Silicone bowl with suction cup Offer 2-3 different sides Keep phone nearby in case of allergic reaction
