Sweet Pea Puree
Pureed peas are one of bebe E’s favorite green veggies and we go through a 1 pound bag of frozen organic peas in about 2 weeks.
Peas are legumes and are rich in protein and fiber. They also contain high amounts of iron and vitamin C. We should all eat more peas!
Today was a rainy day and a perfect day to stay indoors and stock-up on some of bebe E’s homemade favorites. We’re almost finished with the 6 month foods section of “The Baby & Toddler Cookbook” from Williams and Sonoma.
Like all of bebe E’s homemade baby food, the recipe and preparation is simple. This tastes really good too, no wonder bebe E loves her peas.
Sweet Pea Puree
(1st Foods / 6 Months Old)
- 1 pound bag of fresh or frozen organic peas
- Water
Pour water into a medium pot and bring water to a boil.
Add fresh or frozen peas and boil for about 5 – 7 minutes until tender. Remove peas from pot and reserve cooking liquid. Let peas cool to room temperature.
The Cuisinart hand blender came with a BPA-free cup which is convenient for pureeing small portions of baby food.
Add peas and 1/2 tablespoon to 1 tablespoon of the reserved cooking liquid, depending on the consistency of food your baby can handle. Bebe E is graduating to thicker, and hopefully chunkier foods soon, so I don’t add much water.
Scoop individual portions into Baby Cubes. Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Bon apetit little ones!
