Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

1. Rinse the veal¹, trim off membranes, sinews, and fat, then cut into 2–3 cm chunks. Cover with 300 ml cold water and bring to a boil; skim off foam.

2. Simmer covered on low heat for 50–60 minutes until fully tender—meat should be soft, fibers easily separate, and broth clear.

3. Blend the meat with 3–5 tbsp warm broth until completely smooth, straining through a sieve if needed for extra fineness.

4. Cool until warm (test with a drop on your wrist) and introduce gradually, starting with 1–2 tsp.

5. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours or freeze in portions; reheat only once.

In short

• A child's portion for ages 1–3; suitable from 6 months. For younger kids, halve it and purée.
