Leek and potato puree recipe for babies (from 4 months)<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
You can introduce leeks to your baby during the early stages of food diversification. Since leeks have a pronounced flavor (similar to onions), we’ll add a small potato to mellow it out. I used the “ch\u00e9rie” variety with red skin from my garden, which works perfectly for purees.<\/p>\n
Here’s what you’ll need for this leek puree recipe for babies (From 4 months):<\/p>\n

Start by washing your leek. Remove the first layer all around the leek. Then cut the green part and keep only the white (if the white pulls slightly towards the green, keep it anyway, we do not spoil …) and also the other end of the leek, and slice the white leek.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nThen, transfer your cooked vegetables to your blender (without cooking water as the leek should have released enough moisture during cooking, otherwise you’ll end up with a soup).<\/p>\n
