Inspired by Iraqi lentil dishes, this purée is made by simmering red lentils and fine bulgur, then mashing them with olive oil. It contains no added salt and can be left textured or blended smooth according to the baby’s chewing skills.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Place the red lentils and fine bulgur in a pot with plenty of water. Simmer over low heat for 60 minutes, until the grains have completely broken down.

Add the Olive Oil

5 min

Add the olive oil to the mixture and cook over low heat for another 5 minutes.

3

Mash or Blend

5 min

Bebeğim mercimekli bulgur püresini severek yedi, kıvamı yaşına tam uygundu ve kâsedeki hepsini bitirdi.

Tarifte yazan 60 dakika benim ocağımda gerekmedi, mercimek 45 dakikada tamamen dağıldı; fazladan 15 dakika daha kaynattığım için karışım gereğinden fazla sulandı ve kaşıkta durmadı.
