I'm getting excited about the next phase of baby food, because C's meals are become just that - meals. I get to cook for him, rather than just puree for him, and yesterday, I had a lot of fun preparing some great stews, rich with new savory flavors. And this tastes SO good that the entire family can eat it. Double the recipe to have enough to freeze for baby and serve to the rest of the family for dinner!
You need:
1 parsnip, peeled and grated
1 pear, peeled and grated
1/2 c. split peas, picked over and rinsed
1 c. water
1 1/4 c. baby vegetable stock
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine all ingredients. Bring to a soft boil and then simmer, covered, until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the peas are cooked (tender), about 35 minutes. Puree until smooth. Serve within two days or freeze for up to three months.
