Sardine and tomato mash
- Age: 8–10 months (New textures)
- Texture: Mash
- Prep: 5 min
- Cook: 12 min
- Makes: 2 portions
Ingredients
- 1 tinned sardine in olive oil, no added salt
- 1 small potato
- 2 tbsp passata, no added salt
Contains: Fish
Method
- Peel, dice and steam the potato 12 minutes.
- Remove the sardine's backbone and any large bones; mash the flesh — the tiny bones are soft and safe.
- Mash with the potato and passata. Cool to lukewarm.

Tip: Sardines are the cheapest oily fish and one of the best: omega-3, calcium from the soft bones, and low in mercury.
