Broccoli is packed with fiber, minerals and vitamins, like all vegetables. It’s especially rich in vitamin C, vitamin A and iron, so it’s very healthy for your baby.
To help your baby eat this superfood easily, turn it into this tasty purée. They’ll lick their fingers clean!
How to Make Broccoli and Potato Purée for Babies
- Peel and wash the potato, and wash the broccoli too. Cut everything into small pieces.
- Bring a glass of water to a boil in a small saucepan. When the water is boiling, add the potato and broccoli pieces.
- Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Drain the vegetables and put them in the blender jar. Blend for a few seconds until smooth. You can add a little of the cooking water if the purée turns out too thick.
- Pour the purée into a small plate or bowl, add a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and stir well.
- Wait until it’s lukewarm and then you can serve it to your baby. Enjoy!
Tips and Tricks
- These amounts make about 4 servings. The most practical thing is to store the leftovers in small jars for another day.
- If you add a little chopped leek to the recipe, the purée will be slightly milder.
- Use unsalted chicken or vegetable broth instead of water when cooking for a tastier result. If your baby is over 7 months old, they’ll appreciate it.
- You can also add a little formula or breast milk right before blending for a better texture and flavor. If your baby is over one year old, it’s better to use fresh cheese or cow’s milk.
