pureed greenies

Ever since Da and I bought a Philips grinder, I have been having fun using it! Not only can you use it to puree food for consumption by babies, you can even use it to make salad dressing, etc.

If you tend to reach for the bottles of pureed vegetables for babies on the shelves in the supermarkets, why not give this recipe a try? It is easy and the only "hassle" is the time taken to cut the vegetables. Best of all, the end result is pureed vegetables that taste sweet and delicious.

INGREDIENTS

1 large carrot

2 small Japanese sweet potatoes

1 small broccoli

1 cup sweet peas

20 sticks of asparagus

METHOD

1. Cut all the ingredients into small cubes.

2. Steam for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.

3. Puree the vegetables until fine.

TIPS

1. The straighter the carrot, the sweeter it is.

2. For the broccoli, it would be advisable not to include the stem if you intend to feed babies with the pureed vegetables.

3. The pureed vegetables can be frozen and then heated up in the microwave oven before consumption.
