How to make the porridge
Start by carefully peeling, washing and cutting a small beet into small cubes. Beet is a colorful vegetable that contains a variety of health-promoting nutrients.
Now place the chopped beet cubes in a small pan and cover with water. Cook the beet until soft. Depending on the size of the cubes, this can take around 15-20 minutes.
Once the beet is soft, add water to make a total of 150 ml and stir in 2 tablespoons of spelt semolina. Spelt semolina is a healthy cereal option and adds a pleasant texture to the porridge.
Bring everything to the boil and then reduce the heat to low. Leave the porridge to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spelt semolina is cooked and the porridge has reached the desired consistency.
Take the pan off the heat and puree everything to a fine paste. You can use a hand blender or a mixer to make sure the mash is uniform.
Now that your beet and spelt porridge is ready, you can warm it up in the LIINI porridge warmer. This practical warmer ensures that the porridge is at the ideal temperature for your baby without you having to constantly monitor the microwave.
This porridge combines the sweetness of beet with the richness of spelt semolina and offers a healthy and delicious meal for your baby. Bon appétit!
