Can't go wrong with a hearty plate of Stewed Peas🥣🫘🍚 -simple wholesome and perfect for little tummies TRY THE RECIPE⬇️⬇️⬇️ Ingredients: 1 can red kidney beans drained 1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened) 1 small piece of fresh thyme 1 clove garlic, minced 1 small onion, chopped 1 small carrot thinly sliced 1/4 tsp ground allspice 2 tsp mixed herb seasoning blend Pinch of salt to taste 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and water for dumplings (optional) Instructions: In a pan, add your chopped onion carrots and garlic and sautee until soft. Next, add your herb seasonings, thyme, beans and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer on low-medium heat. If adding dumplings : In a small bowl, mix flour with a little water to form a dough. Roll small portions into thin, finger-like shapes. Drop the dumplings into the simmering pot. Let everything cook for another 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stew thickens and the dumplings are cooked through. Cool slightly and serve as a hearty one-pot meal or alongside a small serving of rice for extra toddler-friendly texture. Cooking Tips ✨️ Season to Taste: Add a pinch of salt or an extra splash of coconut milk for a creamier finish if needed. Perfect Consistency: If the stew feels too thick/dry, gradually stir in chicken stock until you reach your desired consistency. Rich Color: It takes time for the stew to develop its signature reddish-brown color. Let it simmer low and slow—but if you’re in a pinch, a small dash of ketchup can help enhance the color naturally. ***For younger babies, smoosh the peas slightly before serving so it's easier for them to manage***
