Plantain and black bean mash

9 months+

A soft Caribbean-inspired bowl, sweet plus savory.

Ingredients

Good to know

No added salt (a baby's kidneys can only handle a little), no added sugar before age 2, and no honey before age 1 (it can carry a botulism risk). More on salt, sugar, and honey.

Instructions

  1. Boil or steam a ripe (yellow-black) plantain until very soft, then mash.
  2. Lightly mash cooked black beans and fold them through, loosening with a little water.
  3. Serve warm and soft.
