Today, we\u2019re introducing beef into baby\u2019s meals!<\/strong>
Until now, when introducing meat from 6 months onward, we\u2019ve chosen lean white meats like chicken<\/a>, turkey<\/a>, or veal<\/a>. At around 7 months, it\u2019s time to introduce beef, always in small, age-appropriate quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always make sure the meat is thoroughly cooked<\/strong> to avoid any unnecessary risks. Steaming is ideal, but I personally find that it dulls the flavor of red meat, so I prefer a dry pan-sear (no added fat) for just a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

September is still eggplant season, so let\u2019s take advantage of it! Eggplant is rich in trace elements, vitamins, and fiber, great for baby and easy to digest. We\u2019ll peel the skin to make digestion even easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to finish: cream cheese (like The Laughing Cow\u00ae)! Kids love it. It softens the pur\u00e9e and adds a creamy touch. It\u2019s a little cheese that can be given occasionally without worry, so let\u2019s go for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need for this baby pur\u00e9e with eggplant, ground beef, and cream cheese (makes 3 servings):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 420g eggplant (peeled weight) <\/strong>\u2192 about 2 medium eggplants, peeled and diced<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 30g ground beef <\/strong>\u2192 about 1 oz cooked ground beef<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 portion (0.62 oz) of cream cheese (like The Laughing Cow\u00ae)<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 3 teaspoons of olive oil<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    \"AubergineLet\u2019s start by washing the eggplant thoroughly.
    Make sure to pick a shiny one: that\u2019s a good sign of freshness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cut off the top, peel it carefully to remove all the skin, then cut the eggplant in half. Try to remove as many seeds as possible, they\u2019re a bit harder to digest. Don\u2019t worry if a few are left!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, cut the eggplant into small pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Morceaux<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Cooking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I cooked the eggplant<\/strong> in my pressure cooker (Cookeo) for 8 minutes.
    If you’re steaming it, count around 12 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Make sure the eggplant is nice and tender when the cooking is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"BoeufWhile the eggplant is cooking, cook the ground beef<\/strong> in a pan without any added fat for about 4 minutes over low to medium heat.
    Make sure it’s fully cooked through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"VacheNext, place the cooked eggplant in your blender, add the portion of Laughing Cow\u00ae cheese, the cooked ground beef, and the 3 teaspoons of olive oil.
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At 7 months, it\u2019s best to keep some texture, so don\u2019t blend the pur\u00e9e until completely smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At 8 months, you can even leave small chunks! The blending speed makes all the difference: use low speed for a chunky texture, high speed for a smoother result if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Your eggplant, ground beef, and cream cheese pur\u00e9e is now ready, baby is going to love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
