RICH AND NUTTY ROASTED-CAULIFLOWER PURéE RECIPE
By roasting the cauliflower for this purée, we bring out deep, nutty flavors. The resulting dish has a complex flavor that's suited to more of a starring role in a dish-say, as a bold accompaniment to a simple piece of protein, like steamed or poached fish or chicken. Alternatively, you could go all in on its more robust flavor, serving it with something that can stand up to it, like a thick, juicy steak with a deeply seared crust.

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Place cauliflower on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, toss with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast, flipping cauliflower with a thin metal spatula halfway through roasting, until cauliflower is tender and deeply browned on both sides, about 20 minutes total.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and cayenne and cook, stirring often, until softened and just starting to turn golden, about 4 minutes.
- Add cauliflower, cream and/or stock, and thyme. Bring to a simmer, then cook, adjusting heat to maintain simmer, until cauliflower has softened in the liquid, about 5 minutes. Discard thyme sprig.
- Using a blender or immersion blender, blend cauliflower and liquid to form a very smooth purée. Season with salt and pepper. (You can adjust purée consistency as needed: Thicken by cooking down further while stirring often over low heat in a wide nonstick skillet, or thin by adding liquid, such as stock, cream, or water.) Serve warm.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND GARLIC PUREE
We enjoy pureed cauliflower but have had difficulty getting the consistency right. Steaming and boiling the cauliflower causes it to pick up too much moisture and the result is a really horrid soupy mess. We solved the problem by roasting the cauliflower with some garlic instead of using a water based method. The texture is close to mashed potatoes, but much healthier. I've indicated that this will serve 4, but to be honest, when I do this, I double the recipe. We use a lot of garlic, but we love it roasted. If you don't like garlic, don't use as much!

Steps:
- Toss the cauliflower florets and peeled garlic cloves in the olive oil until coated (I guess on the amount of olive oil, and probably use more than the specified amount).
- Sprinkle with salt to your taste. We use a creole salt or spice.
- Roast in oven at 375 degrees until the cauliflower is cooked and a fork pierces the stems easily. The timing will depend on how large you leave the cauliflower pieces, but it usually takes about 20 minutes. Don't let the cauliflower burn, but I think the slightly browned edges add character and flavor. The garlic should also be very soft by now.
- Put the roasted cauliflower with the garlic cloves into a food processor along with the butter (optional) and the sour cream. Pulse-puree until the mixture is smooth. Adjust seasonings as necessary and serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the cauliflower into small florets (you'll end up with about 5 cups). In a medium bowl, toss half of the cauliflower with the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until coated. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 30 minutes.
- Place the remaining florets in a medium saucepan with the half-and-half, butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Simmer over medium heat until the cauliflower is very tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Place the simmered cauliflower and garlic in a blender. Process into a very smooth puree, adding just enough of the reserved cooking liquid. Transfer to a small heavy-bottomed saucepan. Chop the roasted cauliflower and fold it into the puree. Adjust the seasonings and keep warm over low heat until ready to use, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a saucepan over low heat.
Tips:
- Choose a head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with no blemishes or bruises.
- Cut the cauliflower into florets of uniform size so that they cook evenly.
- Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to brown and caramelize.
- Roast the cauliflower florets at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Puree the roasted cauliflower in a food processor or blender until it is smooth and creamy.
- Season the cauliflower puree with additional salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs.
- Serve the cauliflower puree as a side dish, soup, or dip.
Conclusion:
Roasted and pureed cauliflower is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and it is also low in calories and carbohydrates. Whether you are looking for a healthy side dish, a hearty soup, or a creamy dip, roasted and pureed cauliflower is a great option.
