First Green Spoonfuls: A Velvety Pea Purée
A natural purée made from fresh or frozen peas, passed through a fine sieve until velvety smooth. A light, green, single-ingredient introduction for babies just beginning solids.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (about 150 g) Fresh or frozen peas
- 2-3 tablespoons Drinking water (boiled and cooled to lukewarm)
Directions
- 1
If using fresh peas, shell them; frozen peas can be used straight away. Rinse the peas well.
- 2
Steam them, or cook in a little water, until very soft, about 8-10 minutes.
- 3
Transfer the cooked peas to a bowl and blend until smooth.
- 4
For a velvety texture, pass the purée through a fine sieve to remove the skins; this makes it easier for young babies to swallow.
- 5
If needed, add some of the boiled, cooled drinking water to reach the consistency your baby likes.
- 6
Serve lukewarm, close to body temperature. Keep any leftovers refrigerated and use within 24 hours.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Peas are a green first vegetable that provides plant protein, fibre and vitamin C. Passed through a fine sieve, the purée takes on a velvety texture that is easy for your baby to swallow. Being a single ingredient makes it easier to watch for any sensitivities.
