Pureed Peas
Whip up a vibrant and nutritious treat with this Pureed Peas! Smooth, creamy, and naturally sweet, this puree is perfect for babies or as a fresh, green side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Fresh or Frozen Steamed Peas
- ¾ Cup Hot Water
Instructions
- Place the peas into a food processor along with ¼ cup of water.
- Gradually add more water while blending until you achieve the desired consistency. Aim for a texture similar to store-bought baby food, not too thick but not too watery.
- Pause the blending process to scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.
- You can serve the pureed peas immediately or store them in sealed jars in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for up to three months.
Notes
Texture Customization: Blend peas to desired consistency, ensuring suitability for both babies and gastric bypass patients. Adjust blending time for smoother or chunkier texture as needed.
Nutrient-Rich Variation: Consider using chicken or vegetable stock instead of water to enhance flavor and provide additional nutrients for both infants and post-gastric bypass patients, ensuring a well-balanced diet.
Gentle Digestion: Strain the pea puree through a fine sieve to remove any skins or fibrous parts, promoting easier digestion for sensitive stomachs post-surgery or for infants transitioning to solid foods.
