Cauliflower Apple Puree Recipes

CAULIFLOWER PUREE

Steps:

• Combine cauliflower and water or chicken stock in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until cauliflower is very tender, about 10 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer cauliflower to the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons cooking liquid, 15 to 20 seconds. Add sour cream and butter, and process 5 to 10 seconds more. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

CAULIFLOWER PUREE

Steps:

• Bring a 4-quart pot of salted water to a boil; add cauliflower and simmer until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain cauliflower, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
• Blend cauliflower and 1/4 cup cooking liquid in a blender until smooth, adding more water until desired consistency is reached. Add butter and pulse until incorporated; season with salt.

CAULIFLOWER APPLE PUREE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slash apple in several spots and place it in a small baking dish. Sprinkle oil on top. Bake until apple is very tender and wilted, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool, peel and core apple. Reserve flesh.
• Fill a large pot with water, season generously with salt, and bring to a boil. Add cauliflower and cook until very tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and transfer to a food processor. Add half the apple and three tablespoons of butter. Process for 3 to 4 minutes, occasionally scraping down sides with a spatula; puree should get smoother and silkier the longer it processes.
• Adjust seasoning, adding more apple, butter or salt as desired; there should be just a hint of sweetness from the apple. Transfer to a serving dish, and serve hot.

CAULIFLOWER & APPLE SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the onions and fry gently until softened. Add the cauliflower and diced apple and fry for 5 more mins. Add the stock cubes and milk and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 mins, or until the cauliflower and apples are tender.
• Use a hand blender or liquidiser to purée the soup until smooth and season (the soup can now be chilled for up to 48 hours or frozen, just reheat to serve). Divide into bowls and swirl 1 tbsp cream in each along with a drizzle of oil. Top with the apple matchsticks and thyme.

Steps:

• Fill the bottom of a double boiler halfway with water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Cut the cauliflower into florets.
• Add the cauliflower to the steamer basket. Place over the boiling water, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the cauliflower to a blender. Add the coconut milk and blend until smooth. Add the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and nutmeg, if using, and blend until incorporated (alternatively, transfer the cauliflower to a medium pot with the remaining ingredients and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth). Season with more salt to taste.
• Serve immediately, or transfer to a medium pot, cover, and keep warm until ready to serve, re-warming over medium-low heat if needed. Garnish with a pinch of nutmeg before serving, if desired.
• Enjoy!
