Health A Unique Child Practice
In the first of a monthly series, Emma Comer and Meg Smith of Tall Trees Kindergarten in Frome, Somerset, share a recipe and tips on delivering food of the highest quality to young children.

SLOW-COOKED PORK AND LENTIL CASSEROLE WITH ORGANIC COUS COUS

This dish is very popular with our children, as it is easy to eat and is also flavoursome and highly nutritious. Even children who have never tried cous cous before seem to enjoy the new taste and texture of it. Slow-cooking the meat overnight makes it tender and suitable for even the very youngest (blend as required for babies).

INGREDIENTS

To serve approximately 40 nursery children (from babies and toddlers to pre-schoolers)

3kg diced pork loin (ideally, local breed pork)

225g or more red lentils

450g each of carrots, onion, swede, parsnips and sweet potato

50g powder bullion for 2 pints of veg stock
