Keep an eye on

Do NOT buy a product without reading the label
Do not cut too large: choking hazard
Do not use whole corn kernels for under 18 months
Do not leave pear skin too thick
Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys
⚠️ NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden wheat

Texture tip

Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking
For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (1 cm)
Test cooking with a fork: should be melting-tender
KEEP PACKAGING of sensitive products to prove gluten-free
Check LABELS even for 'obvious' products (e.g. corn sometimes canned with wheat)
Take out 30 min before for better incorporation

Put the cooked ground steak in a large bowl
Add the corn mashed into a smooth purée

Adjust the texture (rice flour if too sticky)
Shape the triangles with oiled hands
Place on a tray

3. Cooking (pan-fried)

12 min

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan
