How to Cook a Baby
Well I figured I’d go ahead and make a posting about the first request I got. Mariah would like to know a good recipe for baby. She seems to be having a hard time finding one.
I agree, good baby recipes are hard to come by now and days. So here is a delectable dish of Baby Braised in Wine but first the appetizer of Baby Stew.
Baby Stew
Ingredients
- three pounds of baby (chop it up we know that no baby is that small, refrigerate the rest for later)
- 6 small onions, chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ cup chopped celery
- 2 tsp. salt
- 2 cups diced carrots
- 3 raw potatoes, cut up
- 3 tbs. flour
- 1 tbs. chopped parsley
Directions
Clean baby and soak in salted water. Drain, disjoint it in pieces for serving and place in a large kettle with onions, bay leaf, celery and salt. Cover with cold water and cook slowly until tender, about two hours. Add chopped carrots and potatoes and continue cooking until these vegetables are done. Smooth flour with a little cold water and add slowly. When thickened, add chopped parsley and serve.
Baby Braised in Wine
Ingredients
- 2 babies, cut into serving pieces (go with 6 month olds if you can, I know they may be harder to get a hold of but they are much more tender)

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbs. fresh parsley, minced
- ¼ tsp. thyme
- ½ tsp. oregano, rubbed
- 4 bay leaves
- 2 cups dry white wine
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350º. Salt and pepper baby and coat with flour.
- Place oil, onions, garlic, carrots and mushrooms in large casserole dish.
- Place baby on top of vegetables. Sprinkle with parsley, thyme and oregano.
- Add bay leaves and wine. Cover and bake 1 hour or until baby is tender. (more tender than it naturally already is)
