Vegetable Purees

Vegetable purées provide an opportunity for blending unusual combinations of vegetables and of vegetables and fruits—often with unexpectedly exciting flavors and always with beautiful gem like results.

Vegetable purées are often bonded with butter or sour cream, but we find that cheese and some of the starchier vegetables work well also; with them, add just a tiny bit of butter for the flavor.

Purées are so simple, delicious, and elegant—they shouldn’t be missed. Try serving several in dollops of white, orange, green on each plate… and see if your guests can guess what the combinations are.
