Recipe for puree
PUREE, Silky Smooth, Extremely Tasty, and Wildly Underrated – see how here! You need a side dish for your steak, chicken, duck, fish.. I often thought, oh no, potatoes again.. I had heard about Puree, but was first properly introduced to it on Masterchef on TV3 a few years back. It immediately piqued my curiosity. Vegetables, butter, a new kind of side. What’s not to love? 🙂 Many Purees later, I feel quite confident in my method. Puree can, as mentioned in the video, be made from almost any kind of vegetable, so take this as a sort of basic recipe, and play with it. You don’t see me adding two cloves of garlic in the video – but I do :-). This is good for most Purees as it adds a bit of edge to the often sweet vegetable. I also like to season with, for example, apple cider vinegar to bring a bit of acidity and edge to the Puree. Bon appétit.
