Baby Food – Butternut, Red Lentils & Green beans

Easy recipe that I tried with those simple 3 ingredients but gave me 2 alternative meals.

My baby seems to love everything that has butternut because of the sweet texture. Interesting fact in this recipe is when you are introducing pulses to your baby. Not for only one meal, you can also cook the vegetables as a seperate meal and add the red lentils when you need.

I prepared here 2 different meals that are:

OPTION 1: Butternut and Green Beans

OPTION 2: Butternut, Green Beans and Red Lentils

See below for the details of my preparation:
