CARROT, PARSNIP AND TURNIP PURÉE
Once weaning is well underway, different combinations of vegetables can be combined. This makes for much more interesting flavours. Of course, you can still cook them separately and just serve them together, depending on what suits.
Makes 350g (14 cubes)
1 carrot
1 small parsnip
¼ small turnip
1–2 tbsp breast or formula milk or freshly boiled water
Peel the vegetables and cut into small cubes. Place in a large steamer with freshly boiled water and return the water to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium, then cover and simmer for 10–12 minutes, until tender. Allow to cool.
Blend the steamed vegetables in a food processor with enough milk or water to make a smooth purée. Leave to cool, then spoon into ice cube trays and freeze .
