Pea Purée


Description

The nutritional value of one cup of peas is outstanding: full of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and heart healthy folate, peas are a great first vegetable choice for baby and perfect for children and grown ups.

Ingredients

3 cups peas (I use organic frozen, with the least amount of sodium)
2 tbs of water

Directions

Steam frozen peas for 2 min. (An easy way is to put peas in a large microwave safe bowl, cover with water, and heat for 2 minutes). If thawed, reduce time to 1 min. You want peas to be plump and bright green.

Place the peas and 2 tbs of water in a food processor or blender. Puree for 2 min or until the texture is smooth and creamy. if necessary, add more water and continue to puree to reach desired texture. Peas are a little difficult to achieve smoothness for baby due to their skins. If desired strain puree for a silky smooth puree for stage 1 baby food.
