½ a mug of peas
125 grams tofu cut into small squares

Tofu
Tofu is made in much the same way as cheese, except that it is made from soya beans rather than milk. It is entirely plant-based. Nutrition-wise, tofu is in a league of it’s own. It is a complete source of protein, being one of the only food products that provide all eight essential amino acids. It contains no animal fats or cholesterol, is low on sodium, contains few calories, and is easy to digest. It is also an excellent source of iron and Vitamin B. And because calcium sulfate is used in the manufacturing process, it is a worthwhile source of calcium.

I tried this recipe out on my 18 month old at lunch and he absolutely loved it. The egg is a fab idea as he will eat anything with egg. i have never liked tofu myself but i will now definitely look for other tofu recipes - especially now I know how good it is for you. Thanks
Cool. My little girl loves eggs to and the egg adds a sweetness to the dish along with the onion. Another tofu recipe you could try is:

2. Add the slices of tofu
3. Cook for 5 minutes
4. Blend depending on age of baby and serve.

Enjoy...
