Cauliflower Puree With Chestnuts Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Set up a collapsible steamer or bamboo steamer over a pot of water. Toss the cauliflower, potato, and zest together and put in the steamer. Season with the salt and pepper, to taste. Cover, and cook over medium heat until the potatoes and cauliflower are completely tender, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly.
• Puree the vegetables, in batches if needed, in a blender or food processor with olive oil and a couple tablespoons water, until smooth and creamy. Season with the salt and pepper, if needed. Reheat in a saucepan, stirring over medium-low heat. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a medium stockpot or Dutch oven, combine cauliflower, chestnuts, and heavy cream. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; immediately reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until cauliflower is tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove cauliflower and chestnuts from cream and set aside to cool.
• Add Parmesan and thyme to cream and return to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until cream mixture is reduced by half and slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.
• Return cauliflower to cream mixture and season with salt and pepper. Spoon cauliflower mixture evenly into eight 8-ounce ramekins; top each with 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs.
• Place ramekins on a baking sheet and transfer to oven; bake until topping is golden and sides are bubbling, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the onion. Cook over a gentle heat for 8-10 mins until the onion softens. Add the cauliflower, milk and stock. Bring to a simmer, cooking for 10-12 mins until the cauliflower is tender.
• Add the cream, season well and bring back to the boil. Take off the heat, throw in the chestnuts and blend with a hand blender until smooth. Taste and add more seasoning, if you like. To serve, top with shaved Parmesan, black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.

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!

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Add florets, and cook until just tender, about 6 minutes. Drain in a colander, and rinse under cold running water until cool. Let dry on paper towels.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Finely chop stems to make 1 1/2 cups. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add stems, shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pale golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add wine, stock, and cream. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid has reduced by about half, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly. Stir in horseradish, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Puree mixture in a blender until smooth. Stir in thyme.
• Spread florets and chestnuts in a 9-by-12-inch oval gratin dish. Season with salt and pepper. Pour puree on top, and gently stir to combine slightly. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake until bubbling and just golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
