How to make pumpkin and carrot puree for babies

  1. Wash and peel the carrot and pumpkin and cut them into cubes. Wash the leek and cut it into slices, discarding the part with the leaves.
  2. Put everything in a saucepan and add water to cover the vegetables. Put them on the fire and cook for 20 minutes or until they are tender.
  3. Once cooked, we take them out with a drainer to a glass to crush and pass through the blender until there is a puree texture. If you see that it is very thick, you can add a little cooking water or milk (breast or formula).
  4. Put it on a plate and add a drizzle of virgin olive oil. Stir well and when it is warm you can give it to your baby.

Tricks and tips

  • You can add a potato cut into cubes or a handful of rice (better brown) to cook, to provide more energy in the form of hydrates.
  • You can substitute the pumpkin for zucchini and the leek for onion.
