Minced lamb with carrot & apricots
Dried fruit is used a lot in North African cuisine. It sweetens dishes without having to use sugar. You could use dates, prunes, raisins or currants but the sweet flavour of carrots and dried apricots goes very well with the lamb. Your little sweet tooth will love it! Make sure to not give dried fruit as a snack to your baby. The stickiness makes it difficult to chew and swallow. Fresh fruit always gets preference as a snack because it contains less sugar.

We kept the flavours pure for our little ones but we recommend adding ras el hanout if you want that deep North-African flavour. Ras el hanout is a spice mix made out of many different spices typical to the region. It's available in most supermarkets.
