Tomatoes and Carrots with Basil

If you introduce your baby to new flavours at an early age, he will tend to grow up a less fussy eater.

Makes 4 portions

125g carrots, peeled and sliced
100g cauliflower, cut into florets
25g butter
200g ripe tomatoes, skinned, seeded and roughly chopped
2-3 fresh basil leaves
50g Cheddar cheese, grated

Put the carrots in a small saucepan, cover with boiling water and simmer, covered for 10 minutes. Add the cauliflower and cook, covered, for 7-8 minutes adding extra water if necessary. Meanwhile, melt the butter, add the tomatoes and sauté until mushy. Stir in the basil and cheese until melted. Puree the carrots and cauliflower with about 3 tablespoons of the cooking liquid and the tomato sauce.

1/2 small onion, peeled and chopped
15g butter
100g chicken breast, cut into chunks
