Yummy carrot, pumpkin and broccoli savoury oatmeal porridge recipe, suitable for babies 9 months and above.
This recipe is also suitable for babies 7 months and above. Simply omit broccoli as broccoli produces gas in their little tummies.

1.5 cups water
1/2 carrot, finely diced or shredded
1/4 cup butternut squash, finely diced
1/4 cup small broccoli florets
2 tubs of Anchovy Anya Meals stock (Chicken, Anchovy or vegan will work well with this recipe)
3 heaped tbsp organic rolled oats
Method:
1. Combine all vegetables with water and Anya Meals broth/stock into a covered pot and bring to a boil.
2. Once boiling, reduce to gentle heat and simmer till soft. Mash vegetables with a fork.
3. Stir in rolled oats and continue to simmer till rolled oats are all cooked. Add more water or broth if necessary for a thinner consistency.
4. Serve at an appropriate temperature.
Parents and caregivers may be more comfortable blending this porridge for Stage 1 weaning babies (7 months). Try to introduce soft chunks to your baby if he/she has reached 8 months of age.
