Baby food: Beetroot and feta puree

July 11, 2013 by Stacey 10 Comments

a little something different for babies.

 

A few weeks ago we got the most lovely beetroot in our organics box. But it was like, just one beetroot. So it sat there, looking mournfully out at me every time I opened the refrigerator but I was never inspired about what to cook with it. Ok that’s a lie, I’m fairly certain I entertained a beetroot and haloumi dish for the briefest of moments, but it never came to fruition.

So when I was putting a few bits and pieces together for Pepper, I wondered if she might like it – and she did! Her little purple grin was adorable. It made enough for a few servings of dinner (this kid eats like a bird), but you can obviously use your own amounts. And if you’re concerned about the salt level in the feta, by all means leave it out or replace it with a little more cottage cheese or ricotta.

    Or better still, it can go into my mouth as Beetroot and Feta Dip, with crackers or veggie sticks. Sounds pretty awesome either way.

      Haha yeah, usually it’s the standard pumpkin and broccoli round here – but thought I’d share something a bit fancier!

    I am 30 years past baby but I’d eat this! Yum!
    I reckon adults could have it as a dip, or filled in one of those Italian pizza things – the ones where the pizza has a lid on it. Can’t recall the name, but you know?
