Lamb meat is a great choice once you introduce to your baby to meat. Not least because it's high in iron, which babies need as their iron stores start to dwindle around 6 months old. My little one loved this lamb and it was so easy and cheap to make.

- 1 pinch dried thyme , Optional

Place lamb shank in a saucepan, cover with water, and add thyme. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until meat is falling off bone, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Remove meat from bone and place in a food processor. Discard bone, excess fat, and tendons. Add 2 1/2 ounces cooking liquid to meat and process until a fine, even texture is achieved, adding more liquid as needed.
