Steps:

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, add the onion and cook for around 5 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic, carrots, celery, pepper and cumin. Cook for a further two mins, then add the lamb. Brown the meat, tipping off any excess fat. Add the courgette and tomato purée, then fry for a few mins more. Pour in the stock, add the lentils and bring to a simmer. Cook for 40 mins, stirring from time to time.
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Boil the potatoes for 10-15 mins until tender. Drain, then mash with the butter and milk.
Remove the lamb mixture from the heat and use a stick blender to purée. Stir as you purée, blending down the pieces of vegetables. Spoon into 8 largish individual ramekins. Top with the mash and grated cheese. The pie can now be chilled and frozen for up to a month.
Bake for 30 mins until the top is golden and the mince is bubbling up at the sides. (Cook from frozen at 160C/fan 140C/gas 3 for about 40 mins, then turn up to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 for 20-30 mins or until golden on top and piping hot in the centre.) Leave to stand for at least 10 mins before serving. Check it has cooled down sufficiently in the centre before giving it to young children.

TODDLER YOTTAGE

This is always a hit when my young toddler is refusing to eat what I've cooked. Because I don't want to feel like a short-order cook yet I don't want to let her "starve", this works out perfectly. There's no prep time and no cook time. You just throw it in a bowl and voila! The active cultures from the yogurt are fantastic for your toddler's digestive tract. There's plenty of calcium and protein, too. I'm going to write lowered fat ingredients for ease of the recipe. However, if you prefer your young toddler (under 2) to have full-fat ingredients, go for it. That's what I do for my now 20-month old. Once she hits 24 months, I'll lower the fat content and start using low-fat yogurt and cottage cheese as it's written here. Easy breakfast, lunch or dinner when nothing else is working for that picky toddler! NOTE: This works for babies, too, if your ped has OK'd the use of dairy products for your baby.

This is like my other recipe, Toddler Yottage, but with the added kick of some pureed fruits and veggies! If you've got some fruit and veggie purees in the fridge to use in your "hidden veggie" recipes, they work great in this, too, to bump up the nutritional analysis and get that toddler to eat some healthy vegetables and get some much-needed fiber.

Steps:

Throw all of the ingredients into a toddler-safe bowl and mix.
Serve immediately.
If you don't have the purees made, simply throw some thawed frozen raspberries (or other fruit of choice) in a blender or food processor for 2 minutes and blend until smooth. For the veggies, simply steam the sliced yellow squash for about 5 minutes and throw in the blender or food processor and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Store in freezer bags in the freezer and fridge for quick and easy use.
NOTE: Sometimes frozen berries can be a bit tart. If you feel it's not sweet enough, you can add a tiny bit of whichever type of sweetener you allow your child to have.
