Tuna & Sweet Potato

Ingredients

• 120g sweet potato, peeled and cubed
• 60g canned tuna in water (low sodium), drained and rinsed
• Water or formula for blending

Method

1. 01

   Peel and cube the sweet potato; steam for 12–15 minutes until very soft.

2. 02

   Drain a can of low-sodium tuna packed in water and rinse well to reduce sodium.

3. 03

   Combine steamed sweet potato and tuna in a blender and blend with a little water or breast milk/formula to a smooth puree or chunky mash for older babies.

4. 04

   Serve at room temperature; refrigerate leftovers promptly.

How to offer

Offer as a mash at 12+ months; tuna is higher in mercury so limit to once a week.
