Sweet potato and black bean mash
- Age: 8–10 months (New textures)
- Texture: Mash
- Prep: 4 min
- Cook: 12 min
- Makes: 2 portions
Ingredients
- 1 small sweet potato
- 3 tbsp tinned black beans, no added salt, rinsed
- 1 pinch ground cumin
- 1 squeeze lime
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Peel, dice and steam the sweet potato 12 minutes.
- Mash with the beans, cumin and lime, squashing every bean.

Tip: A Mexican pairing that works at any age. Squashing the beans matters more than mashing the potato.
