Inspired by Egypt's everyday fava bean tradition, this purée peels the skins off cooked beans and blends them with a light touch of cumin into a silky texture for babies. It is rich in iron and plant protein, made without added salt or sugar.
Rinse the drained beans and simmer them in a small pan with a little water for 15 minutes until very soft.
Slip off the outer skins of the cooked beans with your fingers; this step keeps the purée silky enough for a baby.
Blend the peeled beans with the olive oil, cumin and lemon juice until completely smooth, adding a spoonful or two of the cooking water if needed.
Before offering fava beans for the first time, follow a one-food-at-a-time introduction schedule to watch for allergies. Never add salt or honey for babies under one year old.
If your baby is younger than 8 months you can leave the cumin out entirely; the unspiced version keeps the same silky texture.
