Ingredients:

1 medium cauliflower

2 bunches of broccoli

3 sole fillets

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and the steamer to high heat.

For this recipe, we used sweet baby broccoli because that’s what the organic section of our grocery store had available. Sweet baby broccoli is very similar to regular broccoli. It has a milder taste and thinner, more delicate stalks. We have made this same recipe using regular broccoli, and it worked very well.

Broccoli has been around for over 2,000 years and was first cultivated in Italy. While green is the most common, broccoli can also be found in purple and white varieties.

Prepare your cauliflower and broccoli by removing the leaves and stems. If you’re using regular broccoli, make sure that you remove the stalk all the way to the floret. The thick stalks will get stringy and difficult for little mouths to eat.

Take the broccoli and cauliflower florets, put them in a large bowl, and fill with lukewarm water. We like to add a splash of vinegar. Let them sit for a few minutes and then rinse in cool, clean water.

The name “sole” comes from the Latin word “solea,” meaning sandal, because of its flat shape. Sole are often fished sustainably, making them a more environmentally friendly seafood option.

Put the broccoli and cauliflower florets into the steamer and reduce the heat to medium. Steam for about 10-15 minutes or until tender. If using sweet baby broccoli, put the cauliflower on the bottom and the broccoli on the top.

Check with a fork if the broccoli and cauliflower are tender by piercing one of the florets. Once the vegetables are cooked, remove them from the steamer and set aside to cool. Save some of the water that you used for steaming.

Like broccoli, cauliflower is a descendant of wild cabbage and has been cultivated for hundreds of years. A unique variety called Romanesco looks like a fractal with its mesmerizing, spiraled form.

Put the sole fillets in a glass baking dish, add 3 tablespoons of water, and cover with a lid. The fillets can overlap slightly, but the dish should be large enough that each fillet has some space. Bake on the center rack in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes.

Once the sole is done baking, carefully remove the lid and check to see if the fillets are cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork. Allow the sole fillets to cool after cooking.

Put the fish, broccoli, and cauliflower into a blender or food processor and puree. The result should be of a creamy and velvety smooth consistency. If it comes out too thick, slowly add some of the water that you removed from the steamer until the desired consistency is achieved. You can also use milk, breast milk, or formula if you prefer.

This recipe makes a very large batch. The size of one medium cauliflower determines the ingredient quantities. We recommend freezing the leftovers in meal-sized portions. It keeps very well for up to 3 months.

You can reduce the batch size by using a small cauliflower or just a part of it. We don’t recommend saving the leftovers in the fridge because the veggies with sole baby food puree will lose nutritional value very quickly. You can save the sole and vegetables in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days and puree just before serving.
