avocado & pear puree

Some of us do not like the taste of avocado. Although it is tasteless, there issuch a creamy texture to the avocado that eating avocado is an acquired taste.

For this puree (which can be used as a dip instead of baby/infant food), I added Packham pears to balance the creamy texture of avocado. The end result was a very smooth puree that had a hint of the taste of avocado without being overpowering.

INGREDIENTS

2 Packham pears
1 avocado

METHOD

1. Skin the pears, remove the cores and cut into cubes.

2. Slice the avocado into two, remove the seed and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh of the avocado.

3. Steam the pears and avocado for 15 minutes.

4. Puree the steamed pears and avocado until well blended.
