With lamb shoulder simmered until tender and lots of vegetables in every bite, it\u2019s a beautiful way to serve up iron, flavour, and fibre in one family-friendly dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We love that this meal ticks the \u201cone pot, one family\u201d box\u2014you can serve it chunky over pasta or mashed potato, blended smooth for babies, or in strips of with vegetables or pulse pasta for baby-led weaning. It\u2019s freezer-friendly, veggie-packed, and the kind of meal that only gets better with time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The slow cooking brings out incredible depth of flavour, and the lamb becomes melt-in-your-mouth soft making it a great introduction to meat for little ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We aren&#8217;t advocates for hiding vegetables, and encourage serving them in their whole form often, however, its also OK to incorporate them in blended form, which can be a great way to keep vegetables in a toddler&#8217;s diet who might be riding the &#8216;beige train.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Age suitable:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suitable from around 6\u20138 months+<br><br>For BLW, serve soft strips of pasta and shredded lamb with sauce.
