Baby Food Apple And Couscous Recipes

ISRAELI COUSCOUS WITH APPLES, CRANBERRIES AND HERBS

Steps:

• For the couscous: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the couscous and cook, stirring occasionally until slightly browned and aromatic, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 to12 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated. Transfer the cooked couscous to a large bowl and set aside to cool. Add the parsley, rosemary, thyme, apple, dried cranberries, and almonds.
• For the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil until smooth. Pour the vinaigrette over the couscous and toss to coat evenly.

APPLE BABY FOOD

Steps:

• Place apples in a large saucepan and just barely cover with water. Simmer over medium-low heat until apples are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove cooked apples with a slotted spoon and place in a food processor or blender; puree until smooth. Allow to cool before serving.

CARROT-APPLE BABY FOOD

Steps:

• Place carrots in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add apple, and simmer until soft, about 5 minutes more. Drain.
• Combine cooked carrots and apple with milk in a blender or food processor; and puree until smooth. Allow to cool before serving.

BABY FOOD - APPLE AND COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Make the couscous according to the directions on the pack but using apple juice instead of water.
• Combine the couscous and applesauce in a bowl and top with the yogurt.
• If you choose, stir the nutmeg into the applesauce for an extra taste twist!

BABY FOOD - APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Chop the apples roughly, place in a saucepan and add around an inch of water or unsweetened apple juice.
• Bring to the boil, then lower the heat, cover and simmer gently until the chunks of apple are tender (around 10 mins).
• Don't feel tempted to continue cooking the apple chunks until they resemble applesauce. By the time they LOOK like applesauce, they will be overcooked and watery. Instead, cook to the point where the chunks are tender -- but still look like chunks!
• Remove the chunks of apple from the pan, then puree or mash them as desired.
