Papinha is a Brazilian baby purée for babies 8 months and up, made by simmering dried beans with carrot and squash until soft, then sieving everything into a texture smooth enough for a baby to swallow. Picking out every bit of bean skin is the most painstaking part of keeping the purée silky.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the beans

50 min

Drain the overnight-soaked beans, add them to fresh water in a pot, and once boiling, simmer on low heat for 50 minutes until very soft.

2

Add the vegetables

20 min

Add the carrot and pumpkin to the boiled beans and simmer for another 20 minutes until everything is soft enough to mash with a fork.

3

Peel the skins

15 min

Rub the boiled beans one by one between your fingers to remove the skins; this step takes patience but is essential for a smooth purée.

4

Blend and sieve

10 min

Blend the peeled beans with the vegetables, adding a little of the cooking water at a time, then pass the mixture through a fine sieve for a smooth texture.

Reminder

If the dried beans are not soaked overnight, they take much longer to cook and the skins are harder to remove. Do not skip sieving the purée, or leftover bits of skin could be a choking risk for the baby.

Kabukları tek tek ayıklamak gerçekten 15 dakikamı aldı ama püre inanılmaz pürüzsüz oldu, bebeğim hiç zorlanmadan yedi.
