| Mashing rather than pureeing your baby’s food is a good way to gradually introduce more texture. Combining broccoli with creamy mashed potato and cheese is a great baby food recipe as it encourages babies to eat more greens. The relatively strong flavour of the broccoli is toned down by the creamy mashed potato. Broccoli is a true superfood, it is a great source of vitamin C and also contains betacarotene, folic acid, iron and potassium. | ||

Vitamin C is water soluble so it is best to steam broccoli as boiling almost halves its vitamin C content. Boiled broccoli retains only about 35% vitamin C as opposed to 72% when it is steamed or microwaved.

Ingredients300g potatoes, peeled and chopped
Method:Put the potatoes and carrot into a saucepan, cover with boiling water and cook until tender (about 20 minutes). Meanwhile, steam the broccoli for about 7 minutes until tender. Alternatively add to the potatoes and carrot after about 12 minutes. Drain the potato and carrot and mash together with the broccoli, milk, butter and cheese.

I think my baby and I are tired of just pureeing vegetables! This looked like a good recipe...and after eating half of it myself, I would have to give this one a 5 star rating!!!

My 7 month old LOVES this. And since there's no meat, I feel better taking it out on day trips.

I tried this last week with my 9 month old twin girls for their snack and it went down a treat. I defrosted a couple yesterday and also about 20 seconds in the microwave and they were enjoyed yet again, I intend making more. I tested them first and they are delicious!
