Mealtimes in the pink!

Now that summer’s finally here, it’s time to add a splash of colour to mealtimes! Got your apron ready? It’s in for some fun… especially if it’s white 😉

Remember we told you about the fabulous baby food chefs Comme des Papas? Today, we bring you a great recipe using beetroot, a vegetable with truly extraordinary properties. And we don’t say that lightly! As well as being an antioxidant, it provides energy, iron and reduces stress. It even has a slightly sweet flavour that makes it really popular with all ages!

And as we love surprising you with a new twist, we’ve combined beetroot with a vegetable that’s rich in potassium, magnesium, calcium and vitamins A and B. Hint: this vegetable is pink, too! Can you guess? That’s right, it’s radish!

Combining them together will give baby an amazing boost! All set? Let’s cook!

Pink radish and beetroot purée – from 12 months

You will need 10 small pink radishes, a beetroot and some fresh parsley.

• Wash and scrape the radishes, remove any stalks. Cut them into chunky slices.
• Wash and peel the beetroot and cut it into small cubes.
• Steam the sliced radish and cubed beetroot for 10 to 15 minutes until very soft.
• Drain and blend to a purée.
• Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for the finishing touch.

A bit chilly for cold food? Heat the purée to warm baby up.

Hot day? This purée is just as delicious served chilled 😉

Handy tip from the Comme des Papas chef: once you have washed and scraped the radishes and removed the roots and leaves, finely grate one or two to introduce your baby to the new texture.

Feel free to leave any comments to let us know whether your baby enjoyed it 😉
