Carrot, Zucchini and Lima Beans
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup lima beans I like to use frozen organic limas
- 1 medium zucchini Washed and chopped. You don’t need to peel if organic
- 3 medium carrots Washed, peeled and chopped
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
-
Pour water into a pot until it’s about 1″ deep and bring to a boil over high heat.
-
Place the carrots, lima beans and zucchini into your Sage baby Eco-Steamer and place the steamer basket into the pot. Cover and steam for 10 minutes.
-
Put the carrots, lima beans and zucchini into a mixing bowl and blend until a mushy mash consistency is achieved. Add a little cooking water to thin the mixer while blending if necessary.
-
Serve or store.
-
This meal will stay fresh in your Big Batch storage set, Sage Squeezies or Tough Glass Jars for up to 3 days in the fridge and 3 months in the freezer.
Recipe Notes
- For babies 7 months and up.
- A mushy mash consistency is thicker than a totally smooth Stage 1 puree and has some lumps, although make sure they are soft. This will help your baby learn to gum food.
- Always make sure your baby’s food is a consistency he can handle.
