Lentil and Vegetable Stew image

This is a great recipe for toddlers, especially if you are vegetarian or have a baby who is not fussed on eating meat. My grandson refuses to chew meat (now aged 19 mths) so we are always looking for ways to make sure he gets an adequate diet. These simple ingredients cook up easily and the recipe makes at least 10 servings and is good to freeze.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon oil

This stew was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.
