Carrot and Celeriac Puree
The sweetness of the carrots in this recipe goes beautifully with the aromatic celeriac. I liked the coriander in this baby food recipe but you may want to hold back as it is an acquired taste.

Ingredients
- 6-8 Carrots
- 1 x Celeriac
- 1 x small onion
- 3 x small potatoes
- 25g x unsalted butter
- 1/2 Teaspoon x Fresh, chopped Coriander
- 2 x cloves of garlic, chopped
You will need
- 1 x Food processor or hand-held blender or a Baby Dan Food Mill with Serving Spoon
- 1 x Ice Cube Tray or Happy Mummy Baby Cubes Food Portioners (Stage 2)
- 1 x Chopping Board and Sharp Knife
Method
1. Prepare your Celeriac and potatoes by peeling and cutting them into small cubes. Place your celeriac and potato into a large saucepan of boiling water and boil for about 4-5 minutes.
2. Prepare your carrots by peeling and cubing. Place them into another saucepan of boiling water and boil for ten minutes.
3. Chop your onion and garlic finely. Fry the onion very gently in a saucepan with the unsalted butter until nice and golden. At the last minute add the garlic and continue to fry for a few minutes until it softens.
4. Now, add all of your ingredients together – the onions, garlic, celeriac, carrot, potato and a little coriander into your blender of choice. Add enough water or breastmilk or baby formula to adjust the consistency.
5. Fill up you ice cube tray or portioner evenly with the puree and place in the freezer.
6. Once frozen you can empty you portions into a freezer bag so you can use the portioners again!
