Marmalade Veg Rolls

Marmalade Veg Rolls

 

 

Who doesn't love fresh chopped veggies rolled in ham, one not so guilty pleasure, and adding marmalade makes the veg all the better (and sweeter)! You can pretty much use any veg you or your baby likes, even use it to try out your little one with new foods as the marmalade makes it very pleasing to the pallet and half the battle of getting kids to eat new foods is getting used to the texture.

 

 

Ingredients

 

• 2 slices of Ham
• 1 tbsp. marmalade
• 25g chopped red pepper
• 25g chopped aubergine
• 25g chopped courgette

 

 

The Not-So Nitty Gritty

 

1. Chop & weigh the veggies.
2. Fry in a little drizzle of oil for approx. 5 minutes.
3. Add the marmalade to the frying pan and stir in well.
4. Lay the pieces of ham out flat and place lines of chopped veg down the centre of the ham and roll up. Put the left over veg over the top of the ham rolls otherwise the can look quite boring.

 

 

 

 



What Little Monster Thought

 

 

He was very cautious at first. I think that was because he isn't used to having whole slices of ham, I usually slice it thin for sandwiches or omelettes. But afterwards he got into it, but ate most of the veg first before resorting to that pink thing. Messy though, his hands were so sticky afterwards and the carpet was so bad I had to get the carpet cleaner out, he was having a throwy day on this particular day.

What would I change? I would just use pittas to case the vegetables for Tyler because the pinkness of his ham confused him.

 

 

Let me know how you all get on and what you change :) But I strongly suggest putting the marmalade in the veg. So sweet :)
