Servings

Makes 8 bites

Prep time

10-15 minutes

Cooking time

15–18 minutes

Ingredients

125g HiPP Organic Carrots, Peas & Cauliflower jar (6m+)
1 Potato (about 200g), peeled and diced
40g soft dried apricots finely chopped
40g pre-cooked chestnuts
50g chicken breast, finely chopped (or 50g mashed chickpeas for vegetarian option)
1/4 teaspoon of dried sage
1 slice bread, made into fine breadcrumbs (half for the mixture, half for rolling)

Method

Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan).
Boil the potato for 10–12 minutes until soft, then mash smooth.
Finely chop the apricots (soak in boiling water for 10 minutes first if firm).
Crush and finely chop the chestnuts.
Finely chop and cook chicken until just cooked through, or use pre-cooked and chop.
Mix the potato, chicken/chickpeas, HiPP Carrots, Peas & Cauliflower, apricots, chestnuts, sage and half the breadcrumbs until it holds together, adding more breadcrumbs if needed (If preparing for younger babies, blend everything before you add the mashed potato.)
Shape into 8 balls or patties and lightly coat with remaining breadcrumbs.
Place on a lined tray, bake for 15–18 minutes turning halfway until lightly golden, then cool slightly before serving.
