Asparagus purée
- Age: 6–8 months (First tastes)
- Texture: Purée
- Prep: 4 min
- Cook: 12 min
- Makes: 3 portions
Ingredients
- 6 spears asparagus
- 1 small potato
- 1 tbsp your baby's usual milk
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Snap off the woody ends. Peel, dice and steam the potato 12 minutes; add the asparagus for the last 6.
- Blend smooth with the milk; sieve if stringy.
- Cool to lukewarm.
Safety: No salt and no sugar. A baby's kidneys cannot handle added salt, and nothing here needs it.
Storage: Fridge 1 day.
Tip: A spring vegetable with a taste of its own. Potato keeps it mild; sieving keeps it smooth.
