About this dish
No added salt or sugar
Flavour comes from herbs, spices and the ingredients themselves.
Our cottage pie swaps the mince for butter beans, slow-cooked with aubergine, courgette, carrot, rosemary and thyme, then topped with a golden sweet potato mash.
Nutritional yeast gives the filling a savoury depth without any dairy, so the pie is vegetarian, dairy-free and egg-free. It is a hearty, plant-packed dinner the whole family recognises.

Questions parents ask
Can babies eat butter beans?
Yes. Butter beans are soft, creamy and full of plant protein. We cook them until tender and offer the pie smooth, lumpy or bite-sized.
How do I reheat the cottage pie?
Microwave for 60 seconds (baby) or 90 seconds (toddler) in your own microwave-safe container. Add a splash of water and keep the lid on for a softer texture.
Is the cottage pie dairy-free?
Yes. We use plant-based spread and nutritional yeast instead of butter and cheese, so it is vegetarian, dairy-free and egg-free.
