Velvety Cauliflower Purée — a Plain, Silky Meal for 8+ Months
A plain, additive-free purée that brings the mild taste of steamed cauliflower and potato together in a creamy, smooth texture, for babies 8 months and older. A gentle way to introduce this soft autumn vegetable to your baby.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (about 120 g) Cauliflower (broken into small florets)
- 1 small Potato (peeled, diced)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- a few spoonfuls Cooking water (for consistency)
Directions
- 1
Wash your hands, and the bowl, spoon and counter you will use. Break the cauliflower into small florets and rinse under running water; peel the potato and cut it into small cubes.
- 2
In a steamer basket, steam the cauliflower and potato for about 12-15 minutes, until soft enough to fall apart when a fork slips in easily.
- 3
Transfer the vegetables to a bowl, add a teaspoon of olive oil and mash with a fork, or blend with a hand blender into a smooth purée.
- 4
Loosen to the softness you like with a few spoonfuls of the cooking water. Do not add any seasoning or sweetener.
- 5
Check that it is lukewarm on the inside of your wrist before serving. You can keep any leftovers in a closed container in the fridge for a day and warm them gently before serving.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Cauliflower is a gentle option rich in vitamin C and fibre, and its mild character suits your baby's first vegetable tastes. Potato adds a soft, satisfying texture, while a little olive oil can help make the most of some of the vitamins in the vegetables. Its smooth texture gently supports the spoon-feeding experience of babies 8 months and older.
