18672 Broccoli Baby Food 15 mins 15 mins 1 3/4 cups Mon Feb 23 16:49:00 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 13 16:24:24 -0700 2009 Easy American CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/18672 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 23:24:24 GMT Gently boiled and puréed If you can boil water, you can make baby food. The introduction of contentious foods like broccoli at an early age may make for adventurous eaters. The perfect food for your baby’s growing taste buds at around 7 months is an array of vegetables steamed or lightly boiled and then puréed.

Game plan: To reheat the baby food, let it thaw completely in the refrigerator, then heat in the microwave or on the stovetop. Stir well before serving.

  • Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add broccoli and boil until it is bright green and just gives when pierced with a knife, about 3 minutes.
  • Drain and place in a food processor fitted with a blade attachment. With the motor running, add the formula, water, or breast milk. Process until smooth, about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Let cool slightly, then divide into 1/4-cup portions, place in airtight containers, and refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze up to 6 weeks until ready to use.
