Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Cauliflower Purée.
Step 1
Start by filling a large pot with water and adding a generous pinch of salt.
Step 2
Bring the water to a lively boil, creating a perfect environment for cooking.
Step 3
Once the water is bubbling, gently toss in the cauliflower florets.
Step 4
Let them simmer for about 7 to 10 minutes, or until they become tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 5
When the cauliflower is just right, carefully drain it, but don’t forget to save about a cup of that flavorful cooking liquid—it’s liquid gold for your recipe! Now, grab your blender and add the drained cauliflower along with a quarter cup of the reserved cooking liquid.
Step 6
Blend everything together until it’s beautifully smooth, adjusting the consistency by adding more liquid if needed.
Step 7
Next, introduce a touch of butter to the mix and pulse until it’s fully blended in, creating a rich and creamy texture.
Step 8
Finally, season your cauliflower puree with a sprinkle of salt to taste, and give it a quick stir.
Step 9
Enjoy this delightful dish as a comforting side or a delicious base for your favorite toppings!.
