I used to make spaghetti for a two year old and it is the only thing that I have seen him eat willingly. He eats it like a fiend.
The mother wants to introduce more fibre in his diet but I am out of ideas because I suck donkey ass at cooking. I once tried oats-banana-cinnamon pancakes but the child spit it out because it tasted like shit. (I have posted about it before.)
If you have medium or high fibre recipe suggestions please share. It’s a bit of an odd request so sorry about that but I don’t know where to turn to. The internet is a search engine optimised wasteland.
Piling on to the add things to red sauce. Carrots, carrot greens, parsley, onions, garlic, shallots, radishes, every leafy green you can find, etc.
You can use a cheese grater on lots of these ingredients to turn it into a fine mush and then boil it in the sauce for 30m and most of it will disappear.
The flavors will still come through, which is what creates the changes in taste buds. Over time, you can try making the stuff visible and see if the child will bite. Sometimes it’s the visual that turns them off.
Seriously, one ingredient at a time, one technique at a time, add sufficient heat, time, and salt, be patient.
Thank you.
