Use this versatile puree under steak or fish for a sophisticated plate, or top it with some salty garnishes for a side dish you’ll remember. Bon Appetit!
Place organic cauliflower, rutabaga, turnips or carrots (broken into even pieces) into a pot. Add some Meyer lemon zest – no more than three peels. Cover with blended oil.
Cover the pot with some parchment paper. Slowly raise heat until water lightly bubbles. Cook until fork tender, approximately 10–18 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon or spider strainer. (Reserve oil for another usage.)
Blend vegetables in a blender. Slowly add oil about 1/4 cup of leftover oil just to smooth out the puree. Add salt to taste.
Notes:
Use a 70/30 blend of canola (or kosher for Passover variation, if making this recipe for Passover) oil to olive oil: 2 cups and 2 tablespoons to 3/4 cup and 2 tablespoons (=3 cups). Or 2 and a 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon to 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons (=4 cups). Almond or Walnut oils are good substitutes if making this recipe for Passover.
