    I made this for my 12month old, and it was a little bland - it needs more spice and less tomato puree - but it was ok.

    This was a hit. Easy to make and freeze. I sometimesadd pasta or rice to it for extra texture for my 12 month old. I didn't have any passata so I used half a tin of tomatoes and it worked fine.

    My 6 month old enjoyed this & I enjoyed eating what he didn't tmrc_emoticons.)  I used coconut oil & added a tiny amount of vegetable stock with tomato paste as didn't have passata on hand.

    This was a bit rich for my baby (8 months). So I steamed pumpkin and carrot and added it to make it less rich. He seemed to like that a bit more but it still wasn't a huge hit. I thought it was delicious though!

    Excellent recipe! 

    My 8 month old absolutely loves this. I also put a big handful of baby spinach in at Step 1 if I have it on hand. Thanks for sharing  tmrc_emoticons.)

    Easy to make and great texture. I gave this to my 6 month old and it was the first time he'd had tomato or lentils. It was perhaps a bit rich for him, next time I'd substitute half the tomato with water. My 2yo wants this for dinner as 'mash potato' & I'm also tempted to use this puree as a sandwich filling for the toddler too!
