Baby Food Recipes by Age

Pea purée

Pea purée

Ingredients

  • 100 g frozen peas
  • 2–3 tbsp your baby's usual milk or water

Contains: None of the common allergens

Method

  1. Boil or steam the peas 3–4 minutes.
  2. Blend with the milk until as smooth as you can get it — pea skins resist, so give it longer than you think.
  3. Push through a sieve for the very first tastes if it is still grainy.
  4. Cool to lukewarm.
Safety: Whole peas are a small round shape. For this stage they are always blended; whole peas come later, squashed.
Storage: Fridge 2 days, freezer 1 month.
Tip: Bright green, sweet, and a first taste of something that is not orange. Frozen peas are picked and frozen within hours and are as good as fresh.
