parsnip yogurt

mezze (v)

15 mins | Makes 13 ice-cubes

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

¼ tsp minced garlic

1 parsnip – washed, peeled, cored, chopped

1 sweet apple – washed, peeled, cored, chopped

1 tbsp full-fat Greek yogurt

Pinch of ground nutmeg

Pinch of ground black pepper

Method

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan, add the garlic, parsnip and apple and sauté on low heat for a few minutes, then add 2 tablespoons of water and let the apple and parsnip steam (covered) for 5–8 minutes (depending on the thickness of the pieces) until they are both tender.

Once tender, pop into a food processor (or use a handheld blender) and blend until smooth. Add the yogurt, nutmeg and black pepper and combine well. Spread over a very soft pitta slice (once your child has mastered soft finger foods) and cut into strips for your little one.
