Hot Buttered Cauliflower Puree Recipes

Steps:

• Combine cauliflower and water or chicken stock in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until cauliflower is very tender, about 10 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer cauliflower to the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons cooking liquid, 15 to 20 seconds. Add sour cream and butter, and process 5 to 10 seconds more. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

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:

• Break cauliflower into florets. Add them to a kettle with cold water to cover. Add 1/4 cup milk. Add salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.
• Put pieces, a few at a time, into the container of a food processor. Blend to a puree. Or put cauliflower through a food mill or ricer. Spoon puree into a saucepan. Heat remaining milk and add it to saucepan. Add butter, nutmeg and pepper. Blend well. Check for seasonings. Serve hot.
