Cannellini Bean & Pear

Cannellini beans can be introduced from around 6 months, cooked until very soft and mashed. Like other beans they bring iron, protein and fibre, and their soft texture makes them an easy early food.

- 1 ripe pear, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/2 cup cooked or canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions

Peel, core, and dice 1 ripe pear. Place in a small saucepan with 2 tablespoons of water and simmer over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes until soft.

Blend until completely smooth, adding water or pear cooking liquid as needed for a silky texture.
