Red lentil and carrot purée is a salt-free baby food made by slowly simmering red lentils with carrot until perfectly smooth. The lentils' natural iron content settles into a gentle balance with the carrot's sweetness. The long cooking time is what gets the lentils to that skin-free, velvety texture.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Simmer the lentils

30 min

Bring the red lentils to the boil with the water in a pot, skim off the foam and continue simmering over low heat.

2

Add the vegetables

40 min

Add the carrot and potato and continue cooking until both the vegetables and lentils are completely soft.

3

Blend until smooth

8 min

Blend the mixture, stir in the olive oil, and add a little of the cooking water until the smoothness suits your baby's age.

4

Portion

5 min

Divide the smooth purée into single-portion containers ready to serve.

Reminder

Do not add salt or spices for your baby; kidneys at this age can't handle excess salt. You can freeze the purée in ice-cube trays and use it within a month.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Swapping the carrot for pumpkin when in season gives the purée a sweeter taste and a deeper orange colour.

75 dakikalık uzun pişirme gerçekten işe yaramış, mercimekte hiç kabuk kalmadı ve püre kadife gibi pürüzsüz çıktı.
