Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make cauliflower puree with cream? Prepare the necessary products. Cauliflower can be used either fresh or frozen. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance. It is better to use low-fat cream or replace it with milk with a low fat percentage. But be prepared for the creamy note in the dish to disappear. Pour filtered cold water into a saucepan and place over high heat.

Step 2

Step 2
Fresh cabbage should be washed in advance under running water and disassembled into inflorescences. Frozen can be immediately put into the pan without defrosting. Add salt to taste and cook over medium heat for about ten minutes after returning to a boil. You can check readiness with a fork: the inflorescences should be soft inside. It is believed that if you cover the pan with a lid at this stage, the cabbage will turn yellow, but we don’t want that.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the finished cauliflower in a colander to drain the water. After this, transfer the cabbage to a blender bowl. Add soft butter.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour cream into the blender bowl for a richer and more delicate puree taste. For lean cauliflower puree, you can use the water in which the cabbage was boiled. Season with salt to taste and add a pinch of ground nutmeg. This will give a special aroma to the dish.

Step 5

Step 5
Using a blender, pulse the puree until smooth. A uniform texture is just as important in mashed cabbage as it is in mashed potatoes. Instead of a blender, you can use a regular metal press (masher) for mashed potatoes. Soft inflorescences can be easily kneaded by hand. Vegetable puree from cauliflower is ready. Before serving, you can pour melted butter over the puree and garnish with fresh herbs. Bon appetit!
