Vitamin-rich pumpkin and iron-rich beetroot make a tasty combination and introduce your baby to veggie flavours that are slightly different to your run-of-the-mill broccoli or carrot

Ingredients

  • 1 fresh beetroot, peeled and diced
  • ½ small pumpkin or squash, peeled and diced
  • knob unsalted butter
  • a little milk, optional

Method

  • STEP 1

    Put the beetroot and pumpkin in a saucepan with enough water to just cover them. Bring to a simmer

  • STEP 2

    Gently cook until both vegetables are soft – about 10 minutes

  • STEP 3

    Pureé, either in a blender or through a sieve. Add a small knob of unsalted butter at the end and, if you like, a little milk. Mix to a soft consistency
