Broccoli recipe
Introduce your baby to veggies with this quick and simple purée. Broccoli makes a great finger food too!
Age: 6 months or older
Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 8 mins
Portions: 7
Ingredients
- 1 medium broccoli – stalks removed, washed and chopped into small chunks (approx 200g)
Method
Bring a pan of water to the boil, place chopped broccoli florets in the pan and cook until tender, about 8 minutes.
Drain, then blend or mash with a fork to get a smooth consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add a little full-fat milk or baby's usual milk.
Allow to cool before serving. Freeze any leftover portions in small pots or ice cube trays.
Information:
Instead of blending, cook for 6 to 8 minutes until soft and serve as a finger food.
Weaning tip
Vegetables that aren't so sweet, like broccoli, spinach and cauliflower help your baby get used to different flavours.
