Level 4: Extremely Thick / Pureed | 35 min | Serves 1 + the family

## Family version

- Roast chicken, carved
- Roasted potatoes
- Glazed carrots
- Pan gravy

## Level 4 ingredients

- 300 g roast chicken, skin removed
- 200 g potatoes, boiled soft
- 150 g carrots, boiled very soft
- 250 ml warm chicken stock or pan gravy
- 2 tbsp butter
- Commercial thickener as needed

## Method

1. Cook the family roast as usual. Set aside the most tender pieces of chicken, plus potatoes and carrots cooked until very soft.
2. Blend the chicken with warm stock until completely smooth: about 2 minutes in a high-speed blender. It should sit in a mound on a spoon.
3. Blend potatoes with butter and a splash of stock until silky; do not over-blend (gluey). Pass through a sieve.
4. Blend carrots until smooth; thicken with a little commercial thickener if any liquid separates.
5. Plate as three separate mounds (or use purée food molds). Check each component with the spoon tilt test before serving.

## Equipment

High-speed blender, sieve, optional purée molds

## Practical tip

Keep components separate on the plate. Distinct flavors and colors make purée meals feel like real dinner.

## Before serving

Run the appropriate IDDSI fork and spoon tests on the finished serving. Recipes guide the preparation; only testing confirms how the serving behaves.

## Safety

Use only the food and drink levels prescribed by the person's qualified clinician. Test the actual serving before it is eaten or drunk.
