Potato and cod purée with vanilla - recipe from Laura Annaert

This has to be the simplest and tastiest way to make your baby try fish. Cod has a very subtle taste, is quite firm and pairs perfectly with vanilla, making it an easy fish treat for Bébé.

Margaux's plate before it completely disappeared.

This is a recipe from Laura Annaert, Mamanchef, which I got from Babymoov and PARENTS Magazine.

For babies 6 to 9 months (introduce after you have introduced baby to white and red meat. Makes an ideal first fish meal).

Ingredients:
One potato
10g / 1/3 oz. of fresh cod
1 teaspoon of butter
1cm / 0.5 inches of vanilla pod
4 tablespoons of milk

Peel the potato and cut it into cubes. Steam it for about 20 minutes.
Open your vanilla pod in half and scrape half an inch of it.
Add the butter and vanilla to the cod and cook it on low temperature in a pan for 7 minutes on each side. Add the milk. Mix everything together.

Note: this is the original recipe from Laura Annaert but when cooking it for Margaux I changed it a bit: I steamed the cod and potato together, then added the milk and mixed. I found that was quicker, easier, healthier.

There you have it: a fish loving bébé.
