Instructions:

  1. Begin by boiling a small pot of water. Once boiling, add the chopped asparagus and steam for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
  2. While the asparagus is steaming, prepare the tofu. You can lightly steam or boil the diced tofu for around 2-3 minutes to warm it up and soften its texture.
  3. Once the asparagus is cooked, drain it and let it cool for a few moments. Ensure it is soft enough for your baby to digest easily.
  4. In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked asparagus, warm tofu, cooked rice, and almond butter.
  5. Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth, puree consistency. You may add a little water or breast milk/formula if it’s too thick for your baby’s preference.
  6. Taste the puree to ensure it is at a suitable temperature for your baby.
  7. Transfer the baby food into appropriate storage containers or serve immediately.

Summary:
This recipe is excellent for babies as it provides healthy fats from almond butter, protein from tofu, and essential vitamins from asparagus, all while being easy to digest due to the smooth puree consistency. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen in ice cube trays for later use. Always monitor for potential allergies, especially to nuts, and introduce new foods one at a time, watching for any adverse reactions.
