This is a great family recipe with a puree recipe for babies in stages two and three.

Ingredients:

3 ears fresh sweet corn or 1-1/2 cups of frozen corn

1-1/2 cups shelled edamame

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp water

1 Tbsp chopped cilantro

1 Tbsp lime juice

1 Tbsp butter

Salt & pepper, to taste

Directions: For fresh corn, remove husks from corn and cut kernels off the cobs. In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.  Add corn kernels to the pan. Sauté until the kernels begin to get a brown crust, about 3-4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add shelled edamame and water, saute for 3 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat, set aside a portion to puree for your baby. (see below) To the remaining mixture in the pan (for the rest of the family), stir in cilantro, lime juice, and butter. Add salt & pepper to taste.  Serve immediately and can be frozen into small portions for future meals.

For Baby: Puree mixture in a blender.  Add water to develop a smooth texture. The puree mixture does not include cilantro, lime juice, butter, salt or pepper.

**Stage 2: mixed food purees (2 or 3 food purees mixed together); Stage 3:  A combo of pureed foods and textured foods such a mashed rice, pastina, meats (ground or shredded, etc…).
