Stew for Babies

so GG's caregiver told me that GG LOVES her stew and she feeds it to her for dinner. So...me, not one for really cooking much, tried my hand this week TWICE to make my own homemade brew and surprise surprise! she likes it!

Ingredients:

1 cup baby carrots
2 cups baby potatos diced in quarters
2 bouillon cubes ( vegetable stock variety)
4 tablespoons butter
2 ripe plantains (sliced in 4 pieces, removed skin)
2 tomatoes diced in 8 chunks
1/2 onion diced
2 celery stalks diced

1. Boil in a medium saucepan plaintains (with skin on), carrots and potatoes in 5 cups of water
2. Melt butter in large stock pot
3. Add bouillion and mix until crushed and melted with butter
4. Stir in and sautee onions and celery for 2 minutes
5. Add tomatoes, continue to stir
5. Remove plaintains from pot and skin them,
6. Add plaintains and the remaining potatoes and carrots from the pot and water used to boil them into the large stock pot.

Option, if you want, grill meat, chicken, tuna steaks etcs separately and then add after the plaintains.

Boil for 15-20 minutes and add water periodically. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 more minutes and voila! Stew for Baby!

This stuff is so good, I add a seasoning mixture to my bowl and enjoy it too! YUM!! I just made a second pot last night!
