Ingredients
1 carrot
peeled and chopped
1/2 swede
peeled and chopped
Equipment
- 1 Pot
- 1 Microwave-safe container
- 1 Cling wrap
- 1 Blender
- 1 Peeler
- 1 Knife
Instructions
- Peel and chop the carrot and swede.
- To boil: Place the vegetables in a pot of boiling water. Boil for around 10 minutes, or until soft.
- To microwave: Place the vegetables in a microwave-safe container. Place cling wrap over the top, leaving a corner uncovered to vent steam. Cook on HIGH for around 4 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
- If you boiled the vegetables, strain and reserve some of the water.
- Puree in a blender until smooth, adding a little of the reserved cooking water (if boiled) or fresh water to make it a nice consistency.
Notes
Tip
Carrots are great first foods for babies but when they are pureed, they can become a bit thin and lumpy. By adding the swede, you’ll be able to puree this combo to a delicious creamy consistency your baby will find easy to eat.
Storage
This puree can be frozen for up to 6 weeks.
