Ingredients

  • ½ cup (125 mL) fresh or frozen peas
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Steam or boil peas until very tender. Drain if necessary and mash or purée until you have your desired consistency. Let cool, then place in a sealed container in the fridge until ready to use.

  • Step 2

    Place your egg in a small pot and cover with cold water. The water should be about an inch or so higher than the egg. Cover the pot with a lid. Over high heat, bring your egg to a rolling boil.

  • Step 3

    Remove from heat and let stand for 12 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Drain water and immediately run cold water over egg until cooled. Rapid cooling helps prevent a green ring from forming around the yolks.

  • Step 5

    Peel egg and place in a bowl. Mash very well.

  • Step 6

    Combine egg with 1/4 cup (60 mL) pea purée and mash together very well until you have your desired consistency. Add a little breast milk or formula to thin if you like.

TIP: Short on time? Instead of preparing your own pea purée, use a jar or squeeze pouch of baby pea purée instead.
