Baby food recipes
Inspired by Cairo’s everyday tradition of eating broad beans, this purée is made by boiling broad beans, removing their skins and blending them with a little cumin until smooth. It is rich in iron and plant protein, and is prepared without salt or sugar.
Rinse the drained broad beans, then boil them in a small pan with a little water for 15 minutes, until very tender.
Rub the outer skins off the cooked broad beans with your fingers and discard them. This step helps make the purée smooth for a baby.
Blend the peeled broad beans with the olive oil, cumin and lemon juice until smooth. If needed, add a few spoonfuls of the cooking water.
Before giving your baby broad beans for the first time, follow a one-food-at-a-time introduction schedule to watch for allergies. Never add salt or honey to food for babies under 1 year old.
