Black bean and avocado mash
- Age: 8–10 months (New textures)
- Texture: Mash
- Prep: 4 min
- Cook: 0 min
- Makes: 1 portion
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp tinned black beans, no added salt, rinsed
- 1/4 ripe avocado
- 1 squeeze lime
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Mash the beans with a fork, leaving some texture.
- Mash in the avocado and a small squeeze of lime.
- Serve at room temperature.
Safety: Whole beans are a round food. At this stage they are mashed; whole beans come once the pincer grasp is confident, and squashed.
Storage: Serve fresh.
Tip: Beans are iron, protein and fibre in one tin. Rinsing removes most of the salt from the canning liquid — but buy no-added-salt where you can.
