Morv’s Crazy-Assed Picnic Salad

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

This was something I made up for a picnic as an accompanying dish to the Breaded Chicken.

 

Ingredients

 

Star pumpkin – halved and cored to make bowls

Flageolet Beans – a handful cooked (either from dry or from a tin)

Asparagus – steamed and cut into baby led weaning lengths

Green Beans – steamed and cut into baby led weaning lengths

Pumpkin – chunks from the pumpkin (bowls) boiled/steamed

Chunks of Feta (not sure about allergies and feta, so could be substituted)

Sweet Red Pepper – cut into baby led weaning size chunks

 

Directions

 

Mix all the ingredients and dress with a ‘Greek salad’ style dressing i.e. lashings of olive oil and loads of good quality dried oregano. Fill the pumpkin bowls with the salad , wrap in foil and take to the park. Boomer got bits from the bowls and she played with the pumpkin bowl later.

Green Beans

Thursday, July 13th, 2006

Top and tail them then steam them over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes. Leave to cool or run under cold water. Try one yourself to check that they're not too hot inside then give one to your baby. So cute, what normally happens with my bub is she chews the outside until it goes kinda stringy and sooks the beans out of the inside. Too gorgeous. And hardly any mess, hurrah!
