Prepare equipment: bowl, cutting board, knife, air fryer Cutting board Paring knife Kitchen scale Mixing bowl Tartelette moulds Do NOT buy a product without reading the label Do not cut too large: choking hazard Do not leave pepper seeds or white pith Do not give whole pomegranate seeds to under 24 months Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys ⚠️ NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden mustard 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. rice pasta sometimes contains mustard derivatives) Take out 30 min before for better incorporation 2
Put the cooked quinoa in a large bowl Add the red bell pepper mashed into a smooth purée Fold in the cooked rice pasta and pomegranate seeds Add the binder (egg) Pour in the olive oil and half of the chives Mix with a wooden spoon Adjust the texture (rice flour if too sticky) Press into oiled tartelette moulds Place on a tray Large bowl Wooden spoon Fork Clean hands Tartelette moulds Do not overmix: elastic dough Do not add too much flour: shapes become too dense Do not forget to press tightly: otherwise it crumbles Do not make shapes too big: max 5 cm Do not leave air in the dough ⚠️ Check that utensils have not been in contact with mustard If the dough is too sticky: add 1 tsp rice flour If too dry: add 1 tsp liquid (water or adapted milk) Press with damp fingers: shapes won't stick Make small holes in the base with a fork Vary sizes according to age For 24-36 months: bigger tartelettes 3
Preheat the air fryer to 170°C Arrange the moulds in the basket Leave space around the moulds for air circulation Cook for 12 min Check cooking halfway through Remove when tartelettes are golden Let cool 5-6 min before unmoulding Test the temp with a finger: warm Unmould carefully Air fryer Tongs Fork Tongs Timer Do not forget to preheat Do not overcrowd the basket Do not open the air fryer in the first 6 min Do not overcook: becomes hard and dry Do not use too high heat Do not unmould too hot: burns Check cooking: fork comes out clean For 12-18 months: lower temperature, longer time For 24-36 months: higher temperature, shorter time If browning too fast: lower to 160°C Test with a toothpick: should come out clean Remove when tartelettes come off easily 4
