Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 1 cauliflower
- 2 1/2 oz butter
- 0.18 oz salt
- 0.85 cup double cream
- a splash olive oil
Instructions
- 1Place a heavy‑based saucepan over low‑medium heat and allow it to warm gradually.
- 2Add half of the butter (35 g) and melt it gently, taking care not to let it brown.
- 3Stir in the diced onion together with the salt; sweat the mixture for 4–5 minutes, stirring regularly until the onion is soft and translucent without color.
- 4Add the cauliflower florets (cut into uniform pieces) and the remaining 35 g of butter to the pan.
- 5Continue to sweat the vegetables gently for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is completely softened, releases its moisture, and stays pale in color.
- 6Pour in the double cream (200 ml) and stir to coat the cauliflower lightly; increase the heat to medium.
- 7Reduce the mixture, allowing the cream to thicken and just bind the cauliflower, creating a lightly glazed, cohesive texture (about 3–4 minutes).
- 8Remove the pan from the heat and immediately transfer the hot mixture to a high‑speed blender.
- 9Blend on high until the puree is completely smooth; while blending, drizzle in a small stream of olive oil to enhance gloss and silkiness.
- 10If the puree is too thick, adjust the consistency with a splash of milk or light stock, blending briefly to incorporate.
- 11Taste and season with additional salt if needed; serve the puree right away, or cool it rapidly over an ice bath to preserve its bright colour.
- 12For a soup version, reheat the puree and thin it with warm milk or stock to reach the desired soup‑like consistency.
