Zucchini for Baby

One of BF's favorite veggies is zucchini! While looking back at some old posts, I realized that I had never posted this recipe for the zucchini dish I have been making for her since she was 8 months old. So, here is it ... try it out and let us know what you think!

Zucchini for Baby
3 medium sized zucchini
1 small yellow onion
1 T olive oil
1 t freshly ground pepper
dash of salt

Wash and dry the zucchini, trim off ends and slice into thin circles. Peel the onion and dice it into small pieces. Heat a skillet on the stove and add the olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the diced onions. Saute the onions for approximately two minutes and then add the sliced zucchini and a dash of salt. Cook this mixture until the zucchini slices are soft and slightly browned and then add the ground pepper. Once the zucchini and onions have cooled slightly dump the entire mixture into a food processor. Blend until smooth or until desired consistency is reached.

Zucchini for Baby will last in the fridge for a few days and it freezes very well. As soon as your baby is ready to move beyond cereals and the basic fruits and veggies this is a great addition to his/her food repertoire!
