Lamb Baby Food Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lamb shank
• 1 pinch dried thyme (Optional)

Directions

Step 1: Place the lamb shank in a saucepan, covering it with water. Add the dried thyme if using.

Step 2: Cover the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3: Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the lamb for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the meat is falling off the bone.

Step 4: Transfer the lamb shank and 16 ounces of the cooking liquid into two separate s. Allow them to chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour to overnight.

Step 5: Discard any remaining cooking liquid, then skim off any solidified fat from the chilled cooking liquid and discard it as well.

Step 6: Remove the meat from the bone and place it into a food processor. Discard the bone, excess fat, and tendons.

Step 7: Add 2 1/2 ounces of the cooking liquid to the meat and process until you achieve a fine, even texture. If necessary, add more liquid to reach the desired consistency.

Tips

To freeze for later, spoon 1-ounce portions of the lamb mixture into a baby food freezing tray. Freeze and use within 3 months.
