Wash and finely chop the chervil
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 green bell pepper skin Do not forget to remove apple skin Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys ⚠️ NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden eggs Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (1 cm) Test cooking with a fork: bell pepper should be melting-tender KEEP PACKAGING of sensitive products to prove egg-free Check LABELS even for 'obvious' products (e.g. spice mixes sometimes contain eggs) Take out 30 min before for better incorporation 2
Crumble the pressed firm tofu in a large bowl Add the green bell pepper mashed into a smooth purée Fold in the cooked Jerusalem artichoke and diced apple Add the binder (flax egg) Pour in the olive oil and half of the chervil Mix with a wooden spoon Adjust the texture (rice flour if too sticky) Shape the pieces with oiled hands Place on a tray Large bowl Wooden spoon Fork Clean hands Baking paper Do not overmix: elastic dough Do not add too much flour: shapes become too dense Do not forget to shape 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 eggs If the dough is too sticky: add 1 tsp rice flour If too dry: add 1 tsp liquid (water or adapted milk) Shape with damp hands: the shapes won't stick Make small round discs Vary sizes according to age For 24-36 months: bigger pieces 3
