A very important stage in a child's life is the introduction of complementary foods. “Adult” food for a baby is unusual and unusual, so mothers should pay special attention to the recipe. Food should be he althy and tasty, it should be remembered and loved by the baby from the first time.

Liver benefits

Some young and inexperienced mothers believe that the liver is a dangerous and very difficult product for a child. But pediatricians think differently. The liver is a product necessary for a child from a year old. It contains the maximum set of nutrients, trace elements and vitamins.

Fish liver contains iodine, a large amount of vitamin D and calcium, which is necessary to strengthen the child's skeletal system. Chicken liver contains substances that positively affect the baby's immunity and its blood system. A huge amount of vitamin A and E is found in veal and beef liver. Substances contained in the liver of animals help to strengthen the cardiovascular system, accelerate the recovery processes in tissues.

Important

Remember that liver soufflé and any other liver dishes should be givenchild only when he was one year old. It is better not to use liver in any form for children under one year old.

Remember that buying a liver, so that later you can cook dishes for a child from it, should only be in a trusted store. If this is a meat stall in the market, then only a meat seller tested and recommended by other moms.

Remember that a meal prepared by yourself, by mom's loving hands, is much tastier and he althier than a variety of store-bought baby food.

Ingredients

To cook a liver soufflé, you can take any liver (veal, chicken, pork, beef). Experts still recommend giving preference to more tender chicken.

So, the products that will be required in order to cook a liver soufflé in the oven for children from a year old: liver - half a kilogram, chicken eggs - two pieces, flour - one tablespoon, loaf - one hundred grams, milk - two hundred grams, butter - one hundred grams.

Cooking process

Chicken liver, like any other, requires pre-soaking. You can soak the liver both in ordinary water and in a small amount of milk. Do not forget to pre-clean the liver from films. After soaking, the liver is cut into small cubes and laid out in a bowl, where it will be crushed later. By the way, it is better to use a blender for grinding. But if there is no such kitchen assistant, you can use a conventional meat grinder. Just have torepeat the process twice.

The liver is crushed with the addition of a long loaf soaked in milk, butter and flour. Then beaten eggs are added to the mixture. In some recipes, when cooking a liver soufflé in the oven for children, the eggs are separated into protein and yolk. The yolk is crushed with the liver at the first stage, and then the fluffy whipped protein is added to the mixture. Choose the method convenient for you. Do not worry that the resulting mass is too liquid, this is how the liver soufflé should look at the initial stage of preparation.

Baking in the oven

As with any pastry, the liver soufflé is placed in a preheated oven. You need to set the temperature to 180-200 degrees.

The dishes for baking are also prepared in advance. These can be large molds or small silicone molds in the form of toys, stars, mugs and pies. Sprinkle the baking dish with flour or breadcrumbs beforehand. You can just lubricate with a little oil. The liver soufflé is baked in the oven for forty to fifty minutes.

Liver soufflé in a slow cooker

There are several ways to prepare this dish. Most mothers make liver soufflé in the oven, but there are those who decide to save time and make this dish in a slow cooker. Both options are acceptable, only the time frame of the cooking process is different.

To prepare a soufflé from the liver in a slow cooker, again, any liver is taken. Very good ashousewives say, here comes the liver of a chicken or a rabbit. The liver soufflé in the oven, the recipe of which is described above, takes a little longer to cook, so you can take any liver, even beef. But the process of cooking in a slow cooker is faster in time and the products are needed more, so to speak, tender.

So, grind the liver and add a little flour to it, beaten eggs, a long loaf soaked in milk, butter. We mix everything thoroughly. Many mothers argue about the benefits of s alt for a child. Adding it to this recipe or not is up to you. But a pinch does not seem to hurt at all, and makes the dish not so bland and tasteless.

Pour a little water into the multicooker and put a special grate that allows you to cook steamed dishes. Pour the mass from the liver into pre-prepared forms and place on this grid. We turn on the special “steamed” mode and wait thirty minutes until ready.

Liver soufflé can be used as a snack or a full meal. If it goes with you a full meal, then we advise you to "flavor" the soufflé with a small amount of vegetables that your baby loves. You can add a side dish to the liver soufflé - boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, buckwheat porridge, rice, etc.

What else to cook?

From the liver for a child from a year old, you can cook not only a delicious liver soufflé. It can be a tender liver pate, pudding, pancakes, gravy, casserole and others. The main thing is to choose a dish so that it is simple and quick to cook and at the same time you have toyour fussy taste.

Bon appetit!
