Method

  1. Wash, peel and dice the sweet potato into small cubes. It doesn’t matter too much what size they are, as you will blend them later.
  2. Add the sweet potato to a pan of boiling water, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the kidney beans and continue cooking for a further 5-10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender. Drain everything.
  4. Add the milk and blend it all together, using either a handheld blender or food processor. Make sure you don’t add any salt.
  5. Feed your baby while the purée is still warm, remember to check the temperature before feeding it to your baby.

Tip

Cool any leftovers and put it in ice cube trays and freeze. This will provide convenient portions for future use.
