As was referenced in today’s blog post, ‘The Kale Incident’, here is the ‘Compulsory Veggie Mix’ that was created from that saga.
Ready in 50 minutes
Serves/Makes 4 Freezable Portions
Ingredients
- 1/4 Kent Pumpkin (Butternut is also great but there is not a lot of flesh in the small ones)
- 1 large Sweet Potato, peeled
- 4 Carrots, peeled unless organic
- 4 florets of Broccoli
- 1/2 cup of frozen Peas
- Some Green Beans
Preparation and Cooking Method
I usually boil the veggies together, all in the pot at the same time. I leave them stew for an hour until really soft and easily mashed. I sometimes steam the veggies when I have more time to supervise.
Roasted Butternut Pumpkin with a little olive oil is a nice treat when we are having roast stuff. They think they are getting something really special. I leave the skin on.
I have cut out cauliflower, kale, spinach, and cut the broccoli back by half. This mix seems to sit well with their tummies without too much upset.
Where we are today:
I reintroduced broccoli recently after leaving it out after the Kale Incident. Koji spent the day on his toilet! Slow changes I have learnt are needed in our house. Audrey has stopped itching and her breakouts (blisters on her head) have gone away since I cut out the green veggies and curly parsley. She is also on Cytapoint, commenced in the last 8 months, which may also explain the improvement in her allergies.
