EditTips

• This dish can be served with a side of mashed potatoes or can be prepared to be frozen for later usage.

For babies 8-10 months, reserve some of the cauliflower cooking water to use when you puree the mixture; experiment with the texture of the puree to your baby's taste, leaving it chunkier as Baby gets older and better able to chew with gums or new teeth. Puree using a conventional blender, stick (or immersion) blender, or food processor; older babies' food can just be mashed with a fork or merely cut into smaller pieces.
