About Me

Hertfordshire, UK
I am a very lucky Mum to two beautiful daughters, known here as Moomin and Gremlin. My second gorgeous girl, Gremlin (above), has PKU (Phenylketonuria) and has introduced us to a whole new world! This blog is intended to record our journey with regards it, particularly focusing on food and eating.

Non Exact Butternut Squash and Red Pepper Stew

Carraway Seeds contain some protein (see earlier post! 19g per 100g = 5g per exchange) but the amount in this means it is negligable per serving. These rough amounts made 4 10 month old portions!

Ingredients

Glug of olive oil
150g ish butternut squash, peeled, de-seeded and cubed
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 small red chilli, de-seeded and roughly chopped (or small pinch of chilli powder)
1g carraway seeds
1/2 red onion, roughly chopped
Small bit of fennel, cored and roughly diced (optional)
1/2 red pepper, de-seeded amd diced
1 carrot, cut on the diagonal
1/4-1/2 pint of veg stock
Small pinch of chopped coriander

Method

Heat oil in large saucepan. Add squash, garlic, chilli and carraway seeds. Turn in the oil for a few minutes. Add remaining vegetables, cover and cook over a low heat for a 5-8 minutes until starting to soften.

Add stock, cover again and simmer for 20-30 mins until vegtables are soft but holding their shape. Remove lid, season and reduce some of the liquid. Serve with coriander.

I whizzed the stew up a little bit with the blender to diffuse the coriander and added 30g peas to one baby portion to create a 1 exchange meal.
