Today’s recipe has a delicate and sweet flavour that your baby will love and is nice and easy to put together. It’s ideal for babies from 6-7 months of age and can be pureed to a smooth texture, or left a little chunkier for those getting to grips with texture.
The recipe includes onion – however, you can omit it for a slightly less robust flavour for younger babies if you choose. The ingredients shown will make enough puree for several meals for your little one (depending, of course, on how much he eats at one sitting!) and this puree freezes well, so it’s great to make ahead and save for another time.
To Make Chicken, Parsnip and Pear Puree for Your Baby You Will Need…
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped finely (optional – see note above)
2 medium parsnips, peeled and chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
1 ripe pear, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
pinch freshly ground black pepper (optional)
12 fl oz (1 1/2 cups) low sodium or homemade chicken stock
8 oz chicken tenders (the tenderloin part of the chicken breast), roughly chopped
Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onion (if using), parsnip, carrot, pear and seasonings. Cook over a medium heat for 5 to 10 mins, until the veggies begin to soften.
Add the chopped chicken and cook, stirring, until the chicken is white all over.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring to the boil.
Lower the heat and simmer all the ingredients together until the veggies are tender and the chicken is cooked through (around 10 to 15 mins).
Transfer to a blender when sufficiently cool and puree.
