Veal and Mixed Vegetable Purée
Veal and Mixed Vegetable Purée is a comforting main course of tender veal, potato, carrot and fresh peas, gently steamed in the Varoma and blended to a silky texture with butter and a splash of apple juice. The Thermomix handles chopping, steaming and puréeing in one bowl, making this a wonderfully simple, nourishing family meal.
About this recipe
Veal and Mixed Vegetable Purée made in the Thermomix TM7 is the kind of quick weeknight dinner that quietly wins over the whole table. Tender pieces of veal are steamed until fork-soft, then combined with fluffy potato, sweet carrot and fresh garden peas, all puréed into a silky, comforting texture with a generous knob of unsalted butter and a splash of apple juice for natural sweetness. Searching for veal purée recipes or baby-friendly Thermomix ideas often leads to complicated methods, but this all-in-one kitchen machine simplifies everything: the potatoes are chopped in seconds, the Varoma gently steams meat and vegetables while retaining their nutrients, and the mixing blade transforms everything into an even, creamy purée without lumps. A drizzle of olive oil finishes the dish with a soft, rounded richness. Serve it as a family main course, a soft meal for little ones, or a nourishing option when comfort food is called for.
Preparation tips
- Cut the veal and carrots into similar-sized pieces so they steam evenly in the Varoma and finish at the same moment as the potatoes and peas, giving an evenly cooked purée without hard bits.
- Taste the purée before serving and adjust with an extra splash of apple juice if the carrot sweetness dominates; a small piece of extra butter stirred in at the end adds a lovely glossy finish.
- For younger children, pass the purée through a fine sieve for an extra-fine texture, or serve it looser as a spoonable meal; leftover portions freeze well in small containers for busy weekdays.
Recipe variations
- Make a lactose-free version by replacing the unsalted butter with extra olive oil and a spoon of lactose-free cream; the apple juice and peas keep the purée naturally sweet and silky without any dairy.
- For a seasonal autumn variation, swap the fresh peas for pumpkin and leek steamed in the Varoma, and add a pinch of nutmeg to the finished veal purée for a warm, festive family dinner.
