Baby Porridge with Broccoli

I try new recipe for baby porridge for my 7 months old son. This time, I introduce broccoli in his diet. Broccoli is his 7 months old birthday gift :P

Well, broccoli is rich in :-

VITAMINS: Vitamin A - 19809 iu Vitamin C - 161.7.0 mg Niacin - 8.0 mg Folate - 310 mcg Vitamin B1 (thiamine) - .73 mg Vitamin B6 - .62 mg Vitamin E - 11 mg Vitamin K - 118 mg Contains some other vitamins in small amounts.

MINERALS: Potassium - 1499 mg Phosphorus - 358 mg Magnesium - 118 mg Calcium - 516 mg Sodium - 245 mg Selenium - 5.7 mg Iron - 5.5 mg Contains zinc, manganese and others

From my reading, broccoli is suitable for baby from 8th months above, but giving a try is no harm. Ilyaas looks ok after taking his first broccoli meal. Well, the reason to delay introducing broccoli to your baby is because it may contains gas. You can read more on broccoli here.  

Here goes my baby porridge recipe:-

Ingredients:-

1) Half cup of rice 

2) One carrot

3)2 potatoes

4) Few dices of chicken breast

5) Broccoli

6)Water

Steps:

1) Wash the rice and put in lots of water. More than enough to make porridge.

2) Cut the carrot, potatoes and chicken breast into dices.

3) Heat on these ingredients on the stove until all of them are soft

4) Put in the broccoli into the pot and let it be soft for < 5 minutes.

5) Let the porridge cool down before blend them.

The result will looks like this

soft and smooth porridge

And this is when they are ready to be frozen for 5 days stocks.
