Baby Food: Lentils

Ingredients:
1 bag of lentils
6- 8 cups of water
3 potatoes, peeled and diced
3 apples, peeled, cored and diced
3 tbsp canola oil
tumeric to taste
cumin to taste
garlic to taste


Boil water. Wash lentils and make sure they contain no pebbles. Pebbles, while delicious, are not good in baby food. Add to water. Add potatoes and apples. You can also add carrots or spinach (or other veggies- but not for babies under 6 months, due to nitrates.) Add seasonings- to taste. Just a dash of each, if you want. Or omit. Add canola oil. Cook until very soft, about 30-45 minutes on medium/low. Blend.

This makes a LOT of mush. 6 ice cube trays, more or less.
