Smooth Jerusalem Artichoke Purée
Learn how to make an ultra-smooth and creamy Jerusalem artichoke purée. This elegant side dish is full of flavor and the perfect pairing for meats, fish, or vegetarian mains.
Equipment
- Santoku Knife
- Pot
- Cutting Board
- Blender
Ingredients
- 500 gram Jerusalem Artichokes
- 300 gram Whipping Cream
- 300 gram Whole Milk
- 20 gram Butter
- Salt freshly ground - to taste
Instructions
- Pour milk and cream into a pot.
- Next, peel the Jerusalem artichokes. Put them in the pot immediately to prevent them from changing color while sitting on the kitchen counter.
- Subsequently, cut them into smaller cubes about 2 x 2 cm.
- Turn on medium-high heat (9 out of 14 on my stove).
- Stir the pot as it approaches the boiling point.
- When it boils, turn it down so it just simmers. Let it stay that way until the Jerusalem artichokes are completely tender. It takes about 15-20 minutes.
- When the Jerusalem artichokes are tender, transfer them to a blender. Let only 1 dl of liquid transfer with them - the rest should stay in the pot. This is important if your Jerusalem artichoke purée is to become completely smooth.
- Blend the Jerusalem artichokes until no lumps remain.
- Add the butter and 2-3 tablespoons of the liquid from the pot to your purée in the blender.
- Blend again.
- Continue to add a couple of tablespoons of liquid at a time until you achieve the desired consistency for your purée.
- Season the purée with salt and, if desired, pepper.
- Finally, plate the purée or pour it into a serving dish. You can also pour it into a clean pot where it can be kept warm if it is not to be served immediately.
- Bon appétit.
