Sole Sweet Potato And Broccoli Puree Recipes

BROCCOLI AND SWEET POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potato and cut into chunks. Place in a pan, fill with just enough water to cover and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the broccoli florets to the pan; cover and cook for 5 minutes. The vegetables should now be tender.
• Drain. Add the milk to the pan and then use a stick blender to blend the vegetables to form a smooth, lump free puree. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

SILKY SWEET POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position; heat to 425 degrees. Place potatoes on a foil-lined pan; bake 45 to 60 minutes, until tender. Peel when cool enough to handle.
• Puree with salt and pepper in a food processor. With motor running, gradually add milks through feeder tube, then butter. Process until silken. (Can make up to 2 days ahead; store in an airtight container.) Reheat and serve.

BROCCOLI-POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Cut broccoli into flowerets. Peel the stalks and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
• Place the stalks and potatoes in a saucepan and cover with the water. Bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes uncovered. (The broccoli will not stay green if covered.)
• Add the broccoli flowerets and cook 9 minutes more, uncovered. Drain.
• Place the broccoli and potatoes in the bowl of a food processor or blender and process into a fine puree. This should take about 45 seconds. It may be necessary to use a rubber spatula to scrape the ingredients down the side of the bowl during the pureeing.
• In a skillet or saucepan, warm the butter and cream and add the puree. Season with several gratings of nutmeg and with salt and pepper to taste. Warm the mixture over a medium flame, mixing well, and serve.

SWEET POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and mash sweet potatoes. In a bowl, combine them with butter, cream, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and 1/2 cup pecans. Blend thoroughly.
• Place mixture in a casserole; top with remaining pecans. Bake 30 minutes. (Purée may be made a day ahead and refrigerated; return to room temperature and bake).

SOLE, SWEET POTATO, AND BROCCOLI PUREE

Steps:

• 1. Spread out the sweet potato and broccoli in a steamer (or use a metal colander set over a pan of simmering water). Cover and steam until really tender, 6-8 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, put the fish into a small saucepan, cover with the milk, and cook until it flakes easily, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese until melted. Put the vegetables and fish mixture in a blender or baby foodmill and purée. Add a little more milk, if necessary. 3. Cool as quickly as possible (put the purée in a glass bowl set in a second bowl of ice and stir for 4-5 minutes), then cover and refrigerate. Or, freeze in individual portions; when needed, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. 4. To serve, heat the purée in a microwave or small saucepan until piping hot, stirring occasionally and adding a little more milk if necessary. Cool to warm and check the temperature before serving.
