  • 75g Butter
  • 4 Leeks
    finely sliced
  • 200g Kale
  • 800g Floury potatoes
    e.g. King Edward, peeled
  • 150ml Semi-skimmed milk

    Method

    • step 1

      Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Add the leeks and turn over in the butter. Add a tbsp of water and season to taste.

    • step 2

      Let the leeks sweat for about 5 minutes over a medium heat, stirring from time to time, then add the kale. Stir everything around, add another tbsp of water and cover again. Leave to sweat for a further 10 minutes until both vegetables are soft and buttery. You might need to add a little more water half way through.

    • step 3

      Meanwhile cook the potatoes in boiling water until just tender while the greens are sweating.

    • step 4

      Heat the milk, drain the potatoes then gradually add the milk to the potatoes and mash until smooth or puree if your baby isn't eating lumps yet.

    • Alternative suggestion: Use a bunch of spring onions instead of leeks.
