Can you replace the egg in this tuna & couscous recipe for babies?
Egg can be replaced with a flax egg which is a simple way of binding the ingredients together without using eggs.
Simply mix one tablespoon of ground flax seed with 2.5 tablespoon of water until a consistency similar to that of raw egg white is formed. Add it to the mixture and voila!
For this recipe, you’ll need 2 tablespoons of ground flax and 5 tablespoons of water.
How do you serve these tuna & couscous patties?
For my toddler, I simply cut these patties into thirds and let him dig in with his fork. For younger babies, you can cut them into strips so they can be easily held by little hands.
Always ensure that the patties are sufficiently cooled before giving them to your baby or toddler.
How do I store this tuna and couscous recipe for babies?
These tuna and couscous patties can be stored in the fridge for up to three days, or in the freezer for up to a month.
Be sure to store them in an air tight container to keep them as fresh and possible.
To reheat, make sure any frozen patties are fully defrosted in the fridge overnight and then either reheat in a preheated oven for 7 minutes at 160C or in the airfryer for 5 minutes at 180C. Be sure to leave them to fully cool before offering to baby.
