stems of 4 - 6 broccoli heads, depending on their thickness (about 580 g or 20 oz)-- I usually reserve the stems from one bunch in the fridge,
until I'm ready to buy and cook the next one (usually soon after) florets from 1 large broccoli head — cut into bite - sized pieces a couple handfuls of other
vegetables, such as chopped asparagus, peas, edamame, etc. (optional) a large handful of
green leafy vegetables — spinach, kale, etc. 1 lemon — zest and juice salt and pepper to taste 3 1/2 tablespoons ghee or grapeseed oil — divided 1 shallot — chopped Pecorino Romano or Parmesan to taste — finely grated (I used unpasteurized sheep's milk Pecorino Romano) baby
greens or microgreens for garnish (optional)
The FDA warns nitrates in kale and other dark,
leafy green vegetables can make baby sick before he is 7 months old, Because we are conservative at wholesomebabyfood, we recommend exercising similar caution to spinach and waiting
until baby is at least 6 - 8 months old to try kale.

leafy greens, legumes, and non-starchy
