Re: to puree is to "make a pulp of cooked food." Basically I cook the vegetable and then put it in the food processor--it looks/tastes like a smoothie. It's "creamy" without cream! It's so comforting and full of colour and vitamins/minerals, potassium. If you want it more "soupy" use or add more water/liquid base. If you want it thicker, use/add less liquid base. With veggies, is basically a cooked vegetable smoothie. Yes, in its most crudest form, adult baby food. I think of it, however, as "haute cuisine." I don't do the egg white thing, but my mother does and these purees often get swirled into her breakfast eggwhite omelette/scrambles.
I do not use anything with M.S.G. or "Campbell's Soup" or mainstream bouillion (i.e. Knorr/Oxo). Those are toxically triggering, hfcs, m.s.g., etc.
My favourite broth/liquid bases:
"Imagine No-Chicken Broth"
Bouillion: "Harvest Sun Organic Vegetable Broth" (Ingredients: Yeast extract, sea salt, potato starch, non-hydrogenated sunflower oil, vegetables--leek, carrots--natural calcium carbonate, spices--tumeric, nutmeg--herbs--parsley, celery leaves) Per 1 tsp. 4 calories/.07 g fat.
I advise you to use organic broths/bouillions. Pacific foods is another recommendable company.
Basically, I DO NOT CONSUME any cruciferous veggies (broccoli/brussels sprouts/cabbage or onions/garlic or peppers/eggplant/tomatoes). My favourite veggies are: baby spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, asparagus, cucumbers, watercress, green beans, alfalfa. I have a BIG PROBLEM with tofu/soy and beans/peas...oranges/citrus, avocadoes and bananas as well as nuts/legumes, dried fruits with sulfites. They're really high in tyramine which causes me MIGRAINES. )
Basically, with a veg. puree you cook the veg., stick the veggies in the food processor and funk it up to the degree you desire. A veggie smoothie. The fibers are broken down for you!
My mother likes these purees as fish/chicken sauces, as well. They're great pasta/noodle and rice sauces, too or just soups/dips, stuffings.
Yes, I'm the food processor queen.
So, all you have to do is cook it and then let your food processor break down the fibers for you. Or, if it's fruit,
it generally doesn't require cooking.
Is this helpful?
