Keep an eye on

Do NOT buy a product without reading the label
Do not cut too large: choking hazard
Do not leave tough leek outer layers
Do not leave plum pits in the recipe
Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys
⚠️ NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden mustard

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 mustard-free
Check LABELS even for 'obvious' products (e.g. spice mixes often contain mustard)
Take out 30 min before for better incorporation

Add the leek mashed into a smooth purée
Fold in the almond paste and pitted plum pieces

Adjust the texture (almond powder if too sticky)
Press into oiled tartelette moulds
Place on a tray

3. Cooking (baked)

19 min

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan
Lightly oil a baking sheet
Place the moulds leaving 2 cm between each
Bake in the middle of the oven for 17 min
Check cooking halfway through
Remove when tartelettes are golden
Let cool 5-6 min before unmoulding
