I eat lots of cooked and pureed greens--virtually everyday. Spinach, swiss chard, arugula, watercress--these are a few that I enjoy. Are you looking to give the puree a little more "body?" Anything raw, now, in the vegetable department causes me exceptional pain, bloating and D. I usually combine another vegetable with the greens to give it "body" or "thickness." No! It's not a potatoe, although you can do that should you choose to do so. I'll combine my green of choice with another vegetable to give it so "adhesive" properties or depth, i.e. spinach/green bean (herbs), spinach/zucchini (herbs as desired), spinach/asparagus, etc.
I often enjoy swiss chard substituted for the spinach and if I desire something "peppery" I'll toss in some arugula (rocket) or watercress. I guess the vegetable combined gives it more "dimension." Red chard/carrot is a pretty good combo., too. You can toss a beet in if you want or some celery or fennel bulb (anise). This sounds gross but sometimes it's the pairing that makes it delicious. I love fennel bulb (puree, but you could just simmer it in some broth or wine or whatever; it sits in me like applesauce) with puree of asparagus and spinach and maybe either mushrooms of some sort or carrot. I like roasted raddichio, too, and belgian endive. I love pureed celery (shhh!!!). It just has to be cooked, now! I mix celery with the spinach and it's so yummy! It doesn't give me bloating as long as there's some sf! These green monsters become green sauces for noodles or grains or whatever! Which vegetables are you most comfortable with when you eat vegetables?
