Always a favourite - butternut squash and lentils

Butternut Squash and lentils, this is a fab and simple recipe from River cottage baby and toddler cookbook that I've adapted to suit E. This was one of her first foods and she still loves it, the only change Ive made in the 5 months is made the chunks smaller recently as she prefers to pick up smaller pieces now.  This is also a fave of mine and this amount makes plenty for both of us. We found this a great recipe for when E had digestive problems and we wanted to hold off on meat but still wanted her to have protein in her diet. This one seems to be very popular with some of E's little friends too. There is nothing better than the sound of your little one eating and making yum noises, this certainly gets that :-)

250g Squash- peeled and deseeded and cut into chunks

50 g red lentils (rinse in cold water before)

1 low salt or baby stock cube ( I only use 1/2)

Add all to a saucepan with enough water to cover, bring to the boil and simmer for approx 20 minutes or when squash is soft but not going to fall apart. The lentils will nicely stick to the squash and I just load a spoon with the remaining lentils at the end.
