Day 1 of Lentils

Today is the first time I am introducing lentils to my boy. Lentils are very nutritious. It is also a good food to introduce to baby that are vegetarians. I added the lentils into the slow cooker together with the vegetable stock that I am cooking and later, I will use the stock and the lentils to cook the porridge. Alternatively, you can grind the lentils and boil together with the rice.
