Hi - I saw a great recipe for chicken fingers/frittatas as finger foods for young babies (6-9 mos), but can't find it any more!!! I looked in the post in FAQs, but it's not there, which is where I thought I saw it in the first place...hhmmm...Can someone help me locate it? It looked so yummy & my DD is ready to start feeding herself!

thanks
anita

It's all over the place

, first mention on page 1 of the BLW support thread, paragraph 3 of my long post about half way down! But easier if I just post it here

2 chicken breasts
1 eating apple (peeled and cored)
2 slices bread
1 medium onion
some fresh herbs of your choice (thyme works well)
flour

blitz apple in food processor, squeeze out excess juice, return to food processor and blitz with all other ingredients until really finely blended, shape into burgers or sausages, coat with a little flour, pan fry in a dribble of olive oil or bake in oven until cooked thru.

Variations could be pork, apple and sage, and lamb and mint,

Thank you so much!! Should the chicken be raw or cooked?

It sounds really good, might need to make some for myself as well!

hmmmm, that sounds like they could be good. Will have to keep that in mind for Sithia for later on! maybe even H will eat them!

Food process the meat raw otherwise it won't combine!

They're sooooooooooooooooooooooooo yummy, make loads and freeze them, you can cook them from frozen by reheating in a minute in the microwave, so a really good, nutritious fast food in those emergency 'omigod, what shall we eat?' moments

! just microwave a (jacket) potato and a handful of frozen peas - dinner from scratch in less than 10 minutes - brilliant!

So they microwave really well from frozen? Would I put them on defrost first then High, or just go for broke and put the micro on hi?

Thanks
Beth

Ok, so I made these sausages tonight (less the onion, didn't have one at home), and they were yummy! DH & I shared one, and were tempted to have another one

Will see what DD thinks tomorrow for lunch. Thanks again for the recipe. It was soooo easy. Will definitely try to make the other variations as well.

Freya'sMum · « **Reply #7 on:** September 17, 2007, 21:35:11 pm »

Um, I just blast it on full power for a minute (for one sausage - they're quite large) and still my finger in the middle of it to check it's very hot before cutting up and serving when a bit cooler - not sure if this is recommended $:-\$ , but we've been ok so far

Thank you again Alison xx

That sounds interesting - with which meat?

jess, lukeys_mom · « **Reply #10 on:** February 10, 2008, 13:33:55 pm »

i used chicken, thought the taste of chicken, apple and maple would be good together (and they were

) didn't put in any fresh herbs as all i had was basil and that didn't sound good. x

jaedagal · « **Reply #11 on:** February 29, 2008, 01:38:27 am »

My boy looooves these!!! I put a bit more apple (he has a sweet tooth) and put fresh garlic, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary (chopped very fine) and a sprinkling of lavender. I fry them up in a little olive oil and soy margarine (milk protien allergy). Mmmm I love them too!

can I ask a quick question - if I wanted to make up a batch, freeze them and then cook them in the oven - should I defrost them first or cook em from frozen?

Freya'sMum · « **Reply #14 on:** April 24, 2008, 21:09:15 pm »

I just make them, cook them, freeze them and then blast them from frozen in the microwave for about 2 minutes to make sure they're piping hot

I finally made these today. I wanted to note my variation, which turned out quite well.

I used ground turkey and fresh sage with the apple, bread, and onion. Made a big batch for DD (11 mos) but DS (3 yr) kept snatching them while I was cooking them up. They were great, and I love that they are not loaded with sodium! (Thanks for the recipe!)

jess, lukeys_mom · « **Reply #16 on:** March 11, 2009, 10:42:46 am »

i use ground turkey too - find that works much better texture-wise and they stay together well.

Mama2boys · « **Reply #17 on:** March 11, 2009, 14:29:03 pm »

i need to try these..not sure will add apple as I dont like sweeter stuff in my main course...

x95stocchier · « **Reply #18 on:** March 11, 2009, 20:19:07 pm »

really, I think the apple adds more moisture than anything. Keeps them from drying out, making them easier for a lo with texture issues. It didn't really seem sweet to me. Just my opinion.

Mashi · « **Reply #19 on:** April 10, 2009, 19:18:06 pm »

Will I have serious problems if I try to fry these without coating in flour first? Or will cornflour work do you think?

Peek-a-boo · « **Reply #20 on:** April 10, 2009, 19:33:20 pm »

mashi--I'm trying to keep DD gluten free, so I use a little bit of cooked millet in place of the bread crumbs. Then I put some millet in my coffee mill and grind it to use for the coating. It's similar in texture to corn meal, so I bet that would work. Personally, I think if you're going to fry, the coating is important. If you're going to bake them, you could probably skip the coating.

Mashi · « **Reply #21 on:** April 10, 2009, 19:50:52 pm »

Yes, I am keeping DS gluten free (as you know from the post where you suggested I try the recipe with millet!) Cornflour is what you call cornstarch in the US (I am pretty sure it is anyway, I have always looked for cornstarch here (UK) and can't find it, but it seems to have the same uses as what we NAs call cornstarch....like for thickening gravy and things). Do you think I could just add that? I don't have any way of grinding millet up, other than perhaps putting it in some clingfilm (aka Saran Wrap) and pounding it with a hammer. Which prob won't get it fine enough for a floury powder...

I don't need to but I try to keep J gluten free too, and make these using Dove's Farm gluten free flour

clh · « **Reply #23 on:** April 10, 2009, 20:04:05 pm »

Ang, can I be nosey & ask why gluten free if you don't have to?

Oh they look fabulous, like really good substitutes for wheat flour, the big prob is that DS can't seem to tolerate rice or potato. So with rice, potato and oats out, it means that I am terrified of gluten grains, and leaves me soooooooo little to feed him!

Purplecattypants · « **Reply #25 on:** April 10, 2009, 20:09:20 pm »

Ooooh I see.....that's a bummer! You have another thread about this? I hope you get some suggestions there, as I said I don't NEED to keep J gluten free so am not strict with it etc. I really feel for you, parenting is challenging enough without having to worry about this sort of thing!

Lu_C · « **Reply #26 on:** September 02, 2009, 11:58:40 am »

Cor I like the sound of these. Going to give these a go next week

knackered · « **Reply #27 on:** September 24, 2009, 10:21:09 am »

We're gluten free here too. Have you tried using polenta? Think that's the same as the US cornmeal. It's fairly easily accessible this side of the pond... Also - have you found a gluten free bread that he likes/can eat? Cos you could always make that in to bread crumbs...

FYI too - Doves Farm do a range of gluten free flour - they do gram flour - which I think is gound chick pea. Check them out...

Your creations all sound amazing (maple syrup, lavender, wow)! Has anyone tried a veggie version? Maybe with butter beans instead of chicken or some such? I'm not yet up to sausages with the LO, who is currently specialising in pear-wrestling, but it sounds like a good recipe for the future. Looking forward to testing them myself.
