Kale Baby Puree
Kale Baby-led Weaning
Steps
1
Steam: In a medium saucepan, bring 2″ of water to a boil over medium heat. Place the apples and then kale into a steamer basket, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until tender. Reserve steamer water. Let cool slightly.
2
Puree: Place the cooked apples and kale into a blender or food processor. Turn on the blender or food processor and puree for 1-2 minutes on medium. If the puree is too thick, add 1/4 cup of the reserved liquid at a time, until you achieve desired consistency.
3
Serve: let cool slightly and then feed to baby. Store the rest of the puree in the fridge or freezer for a later meal.
4
Cook: heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add the olive oil. Add in the kale and let cook for 3-4 minutes or until the kale is just slighly wilted. Squeeze the lemon over the kale and stir.
5
Serve: serve the kale to your baby in an age-appropriate way – either in chopped small pieces, as a whole leaf, or as a puree on a self-feeding spoon.
