Peas Purée Recipe
Makes 1/2 cup purée
1 cup frozen or fresh peas
1/2 cup water
Breast milk, formula, or cooking water
In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the peas and cook 5-6 minutes or until peas float to the top. Drain peas (reserve 1/2 cup of cooking water if you are going to use water to thin out the purée), place in food processor, and purée. Add fluid until peas reach the best consistency for eating.
Storage: Good for 3 days in the fridge in an airtight container or up to 3 months in the freezer.
Note: since this was Cati's 1st peas meal, I made it pretty liquidy. I added about 2. 5 oz of breast milk to get the purée to a consistency I felt she'd be able to eat.
The players:
This is why you need to add liquid to the peas:
the consistency is too thick and dry for the baby.
Adding the fluid makes the peas smoother.
Peas past the test!
