How to make the porridge
Start by preparing a ripe pear by peeling, coring and cutting it into pieces. The pear gives the porridge a natural sweetness and a delicious fruitiness.
Now take care of the fennel. Wash it thoroughly and remove the stalk. Then cut the fennel into small pieces. The fennel gives the porridge a subtle aniseed note and an interesting texture.
Once the pear and fennel pieces are prepared, you can steam both ingredients in a pan. Steaming ensures that the aromas are retained and the ingredients become soft.
After steaming, you can puree the pear and fennel pieces into a fine mash. Use a hand blender or mixer to ensure that the porridge has a velvety consistency.
Now that your pear and fennel porridge is ready, you can warm it up in the LIINI porridge warmer. This practical warmer ensures that the porridge is at the ideal temperature for your baby without you having to constantly monitor the microwave.
This porridge combines the sweet freshness of pears with the slightly spicy taste of fennel and offers your baby a tasty and nutritious meal. Bon appétit!
