Sweet Potato- Banana Purée

1. 1

   Peel sweet potatoes and banana; cut into 1-inch chunks.

2. 2

   In a 3- to 4-quart pan, combine sweet potatoes, banana, and milk. Split vanilla bean in half lengthwise; scrape seeds into pan, then add pod (if using vanilla extract, add it later). Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until sweet potatoes are tender when pierced, 11 to 13 minutes. Remove vanilla pod and discard.

3. 3

   Pour sweet potato mixture into a fine strainer set over a bowl; discard milk. In a food processor, puree sweet potato mixture with butter (and vanilla extract if using) until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and salt to taste. Spoon into a bowl.
