Green Bean Puree

Green beans can be mashed or pureed with other vegetables or served on their own.

Ingredients

Wash and trim the stem ends of 2 pounds of green beans.
Arrange beans on a steamer rack in a large pan over 1 inch of water. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Steam until tender, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Plunge beans into ice water to stop the cooking.
Pulse in a food processor, or pass through a food mill fitted with the medium disk. Add formula, breast milk, or boiled and cooled water as needed.

Fill 1/4-cup plastic containers or ice-cube trays with purée.

Makes 2 2/3 cups or about 24 cubes.
