Leek and potato purée
- Age: 6–8 months (First tastes)
- Texture: Purée
- Prep: 5 min
- Cook: 17 min
- Makes: 3 portions
Ingredients
- 1/2 leek, white part only, sliced
- 1 small potato
- 1 tsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp your baby's usual milk
Contains: Milk
Method
- Soften the leek in the butter over low heat 5 minutes without browning.
- Add the diced potato and 100 ml water; simmer 12 minutes until soft.
- Blend smooth with the milk. Cool to lukewarm.
Safety: No salt and no sugar. A baby's kidneys cannot handle added salt, and nothing here needs it.
Storage: Fridge 2 days, freezer 1 month.
Tip: Vichyssoise for a baby. Leek is the gentlest of the onion family and a good first savoury flavour.
