Sunday is the day to spoil yourself and your family with food, isn't? I always prepare something extra nice on Sunday, even if it's only a little treat. Like an omelette with tomato and basil for breakfast. Unfortunately it was eaten to fast to photograph it. Since Adam's started eating with us I make sure there is something extra nice for him as well. It doesn't seem to be fair, to put a lot of effort in food for grown ups only. Babies deserve even better food in order to explore and learn to enjoy different tastes.
Today I made Leek, Sweet Potato and Pea purée for him. If you'd like
- 50g leek, sliced - 300g sweet potato, peeled and chopped
- 50g peas, may be frozen
- 300mls vegetable stock
Cook leek and and sweet potato in vegetable stock for 15 minutes, add frozen peas and cook another 5 mins. Blend into desired consistency. I always use the orange-fleshed sweet potato variety as it is more nutritious. This amount is enough to make 5 portions and it can be frozen to enjoy later. Before serving I add a little spoon of olive oil or butter, to add some good fatty acids.
My husband and me had a lovely mango lassi to brighten up this murky day. I had to share mine with the little one though.
