tomato cereal

category: babyfood

Semalam balik agak cepat. Dah janji dengan kakak nak ke kedai hijau (ekonsave) cari dc katun. Balik rumah, dia tengok cd tu, Iman, macam biasa main botol air. Nampak suasana ‘aman’, tak ada sesi bergaduh, mdh naik mandi, ummi ke dapur.

Cadangnya nak buat milidi goreng tapi mdh insisted on soup instead. Kakak, macam abahnya, suka sup. Malam tadi, dia makan sampai bertambah. Iman pulak makan potato bread seketul.

Hari ni Iman dibekalkan dengan TOMATO CEREAL. Senang sangat. Macam tak sampai hati nak share resepi. Tapi bubuh jugaklah yek.

Ingredients
- 6 tomatoes – cut into wedges
- rosemary
- rice cereal

Step-by-step
- Put tomatoes in a pan. Add water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat. Afterwhich, lower down heat and it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- You may opt to peel off the skin OR to keep it
- Blend into desired consistency
- At this point, kalau tak nak makan lagi, bolehlah dibekukan.
- If frozen, take a few cubes (I use 4), cairkan in a pan.
- Once cair, masukkan rosemary a bit
- Let it boil for a while then turn off heat.
- Add rice cereal slowly.
- Whisk to prevent berketul-ketul
- Once cool, ready to serve

Oh, an anonymous remarked. Mungkin the way I write/pen down my thoughts membuatkan orang salah faham. Forgive me for that. Bimbang orang lain pun salah faham, I’d like to stress that frozen food mesti dicairkan, pipping hot. Bila sejuk baru hidangkan. Jangan bagi frozen food straight away.

As for TOMATO CEREAL, takde gambo. Masa tengah masak tu baru teringat kamera tertinggal dalam kereta.

TIPS: to make homemade rice cereal, basuh beras and keringkan. Then kisarkan menjadi konsistensi yang dikehendaki. Bubur nasi lebih cepat dimasak. Tapi mesti ingat, don’t treat this like on-the-shelf rice cereal yang ‘just-add-water’ sbb this one masih belum dimasak so it needs to be cooked first. simpan dalam air-tight container.
