What to cook for your child for dinner - 4 quick and tasty recipes

Hello! For parents who every night puzzle over what to cook for their child for dinner, I offer a choice of 4 quick and simple recipes - 2 on the stove and 2 in the multicooker.

But first, I draw attention to several important points:

1. According to nutritionists, dinner should be 1/5 of the daily diet of the child.
2. When choosing products, consider their fullness and nutritional value. Give preference to cereals, vegetables and cottage cheese dishes, and exclude meat (except chicken).
3. Do not let children overeat.
4. The serving size is smaller than in adults.
5. After dinner, give your child fruit juice, unsweetened tea or herbal decoctions (chamomile, lemon balm) as an evening drink.

Fritters are tender, very tasty and satisfying. Such a child can be given even without a side dish or supplemented with mashed potatoes prepared for the rest of the family.

On a note! Do not be afraid that the dish will turn out bold.As practice shows, these pancakes do not absorb oil. It all remains in the pan.

Banana pancakes

• Time: 25 minutes.
• Servings Per Container: 3 Persons.
• Destination: dinner.
• Difficulty: simple.

Among children's recipes there are a lot of interesting flour products. If at least one ripe banana is left in the refrigerator, make fragrant pancakes with it. The dish is light and tasty, it will appeal to a small sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

• flour - 140 g;
• egg - 1 pc.;
• baking powder - 10 g;
• sugar - 65 g;
• whole milk - 370 ml;
• banana - 1 pc.;
• salt - 1-2 g;
• butter - 35 g for dough + 15 g for spreading pancakes;
• vegetable oil - for frying.

Cooking method:

1. Melt the butter in a frying pan and set it aside to cool.
2. In a bowl, beat the egg with salt and sugar in a whisk until a lush foam forms on the surface.
3. Continuing mixing, slowly pour the milk.
4. I introduce the cooled melted butter.
5. In another container, I connect the flour with a baking powder.
6. Add the liquid ingredients and knead the dough.
7. Separately, in a plate, I knead the banana pulp with a fork. Pancakes will turn out tastier if the mass is heterogeneous.
8. I put the banana in the dough, mix and set aside for 10 minutes.
9. I warm the pan and grease it with vegetable oil.
10. Pour part of the dough and spread on the surface. I fry on minimal heat. As soon as the edges of the workpiece are browned and holes appear on top, the pancake can be turned over.
11. I put the finished products on a plate in a stack, smearing with butter.

From the taken number of products, 9-10 pancakes are obtained, which are good even without additives. But if desired, the baby can be offered sour cream, yogurt or honey.

Advice! To make the dough homogeneous (without lumps), add liquid ingredients in flour in portions, in 2-3 doses.

Curd casserole in a slow cooker

• Time: 40 minutes.
• Servings Per Container: 4 Persons.
• Destination: dinner.
• Difficulty: simple.

Cottage cheese is very important for baby food. Sour-milk product is the main source of vitamins (A, D), minerals (calcium, phosphorus) and protein, necessary for the normal development of the child. But some children refuse to eat cottage cheese in its natural form. In this case, I advise you to make a casserole. To make the dish tender and light, it’s better to cook steamed.

Components:

• cottage cheese (any fat content) - 270 g;
• egg - 1 pc.;
• sugar - 25 g;
• salt;
• semolina - 15 g;
• vanilla sugar (to taste);
• deodorized sunflower oil - 1-2 ml (for lubrication).

Step by step recipe:

1. I wipe the cottage cheese through a sieve and transfer to a bowl.
2. Drive eggs and salt.
3. I fall asleep sugar (along with vanilla) and mix thoroughly.
4. Add semolina. Stir with a spoon and leave for 10 minutes, so that the cereal swells.
5. I lubricate silicone molds from the inside with oil.
6. I spread the curd mass in them so that 1 cm remains to the edges.
7. I pour 1 liter of water into the multicooker bowl.
8. I install a steaming grate and place forms on it.
9. I close the lid, set the “Steam” mode on the panel and set it on the timer for 20 minutes.

Small tins are convenient for serving. Each child in a plate can be served a separate portion by pouring sour cream, syrup or favorite jam.

On a note! To reduce cooking time, you can immediately pour boiling water into the multicooker bowl. To grind cottage cheese, use a hand blender. This will speed up the process.

The daily diet of children of any age should include cereals. True, sometimes babies eat them reluctantly. Therefore, parents are sometimes lost what to cook for their child for dinner, so that he ate hearty and with pleasure. I consider rice with vegetables cooked in a slow cooker to be just such a dish.
