Pea & basil puree

+4 months

This pea puree is great for beginners. Because of their natural sweetness green peas are usually a winner with the littlest eaters. The basil brings a fragrant freshness to the puree.

Ingredients for 1 portion

  • 40 g peas

  • 3 basil leaves

  • 1 tsp olive oil

Preparation

  1. Steam or cook the peas in boiling water until cooked. This should take no more than 5 to 7 minutes of steaming and 3 to 5 minutes in the boiling water.

  2. Chop the basil leaves finely.

  3. Blend or mash the peas together with the basil until smooth. You can add a bit of cooking liquid to get the right texture. Finish with the olive oil.
