Recipe for Very Creamy Broccoli Purée and Zero Waste

AuthorCategoryDifficultyBeginner

For this puree, nothing is wasted! Often I would save the broccoli stems to add to a soup. Here, I decided to use everything for the puree. And it works! You just need to remember to cook the stems a little longer than the florets, and it's done! A truly smooth and creamy puree to which the cheese adds a slightly nostalgic flavor...

 1 dash Olive oil
 1 butter nuts
 10 liquid cream
 4 melted cheese portions (cheese cream)
 salt pepper
 Espelette pepper
Directions
1

Heat two large pots of salted water.

2

Peel the potatoes, wash them, and cut them into cubes. Cook them in one of the pots for 25 minutes.

3

Separate the florets from the broccoli. Clean them in vinegar water. Peel the stems, trim the ends, then cut them in half and into pieces.

4

Submerge the broccoli stems in the second pot of water, then after 4 minutes add the florets and let everything cook for another 5 minutes. At the end of cooking, drain them and then immerse them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and preserve a nice green color. Drain.

5

Drain the potatoes.

6

Peel and finely chop the shallots for about 8 minutes. Place them in a small pan to soften with a drizzle of oil.

7

Combine the broccoli and the potatoes, then add the drained shallots. Blend everything finely.

To finish, heat gently and then serve hot. Suggest to the children!
