Lamb & Pumpkin Mash with Cumin

A soft, lumpy mash of slow-simmered lamb and pumpkin with an optional pinch of cumin. Lamb is rich in iron and zinc, and a little gentle spice helps babies get used to new flavours early, no salt needed.

2. 2Put 80g ground lamb in a small saucepan with 120ml water and a tiny pinch of ground cumin (optional). Simmer for 12 minutes, breaking up the meat, until no pink remains. Skim off any fat that rises to the surface.
