Inspired by Balkan lentil soups, this puree is made by simmering zucchini and red lentils together, then blending them until smooth. Rich in iron and fiber, it is suitable as an early vegetable meal.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Simmer the ingredients

5 min

Place the chopped zucchini and rinsed red lentils in a pot with the water. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat.

2

Cook until tender

30 min

Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, until the zucchini and lentils are soft enough to mash with a fork.

3

Blend until smooth

5 min

Blend the mixture until smooth. If needed, add some of the cooking water to adjust the consistency.

Reminder

If serving lentils for the first time, start with a single ingredient and offer lentils separately at another meal to make it easier to monitor for a reaction. Lentils are legumes; begin with a small amount when introducing them.
