Spinach and lentil mash
6 months+Iron-supporting greens and lentils.
Ingredients
- • 1 handful Spinach
- • 3 tbsp Red lentils
Good to know
Spinach is high in nitrates, so serve this fresh rather than batch-cooking and reheating leftovers.
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
- Rinse the lentils and simmer in unsalted water until very soft, about 20 minutes.
- Wilt the spinach, then blend or mash both smooth with a little cooking water.
