I have been making baby food and purees for the last 5 months. I love it and baby does too. I was confident baby would turn this recipe down but this is one of his absolute favorites. After preparing a batch of this, I spoon portions into an ice cube tray, flash freeze, remove from trays and then store in bags in the freezer. Two cubes reheated is the perfect portion for a hungry nine month old. Ingredients:
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped |
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped |
2 tablespoons celery, chopped |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1/4 cup lentils |
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped |
1 3/4 cups vegetable stock or 1 3/4 cups water |
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan saute the onion, carrot, and celery in vegetable oil for 5 minutes or until softened.
2. Add lentils and sweet potatoes and slowly add stock.
3. Bring to a boil.
4. Cover, reduce heat and simmer.
5. Puree in a blender and portion out as desired. This recipe will make anywhere from 5-10 servings.
6. Can be refrigerated for 1 week or frozen for 6 weeks.
