Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, bring 2″ of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Place the asparagus into a steamer basket, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes or until tender. Reserve steamer water. Let cool slightly.
2
Place the cooked asparagus into a blender or food processor along with the mint (or other preferred spice or herb, if any). 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 water at a time, until you achieve desired consistency.
3
Serve and enjoy, or store for later.
4
Slice or chop the asparagus to be age-appropriate for your baby. Add on a sprinkle of finely chopped mint. Serve and enjoy.
