Carrot puree

Step 1

Chop carrots and put them in a saucepan and pour over just enough boiling water to cover. Cover with a lid and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until soft.

Step 2

Drain the carrots and place in a blender, adding some of the water from the cooking liquid, then puree until very smooth.

Step 3

This is suitable for the first week of weaning, so needs to be very smooth with no lumps. Add liquid as necessary – puree should be thick and not too liquid.
