Day 1 of Shallot

I introduce shallot into my boy's porridge to add some taste to his food. Do not feed shallots puree on its own to baby. It is use for added flavour into baby's food.

I only use 1/2 teaspoon of chopped shallots. I sauteed it with butter, then I add mushroom, carrots, sauteed a little longer then I added water. You can also add vegetable stock that you make too. Once the water is boiled, I added lentils, potatoes and rice and let it boiled till soft then I will add in spinach. You can blend the food to your desired texture.
