Ingredients to make Cauliflower and Apple Cream:
- 1 large cauliflower
- 1 apple
- 1 leek
- 1 splash of olive oil
- 1 pinch of salt
How to make Cauliflower and Apple Cream:
- Separate the cauliflower into florets and wash them well. On the other hand, clean the leek and cut it into small pieces.
- Wash the apple and cut it into small pieces. If you want, you can leave the skin on because you’ll be shredding it later and it won’t show.
- Heat a saucepan with a splash of olive oil, add the leek and cook for a few minutes over medium heat. Before it starts to brown, add the apple and let it cook for a few more minutes.
- Add the cauliflower to the pan, cover the ingredients with water, but without adding more than necessary. You can also use vegetable broth instead of water. Cook the vegetables over medium-low heat until the cauliflower is tender. The total time can vary depending on the size of the cauliflower, but is usually around 20 minutes.
- If you like, you can reserve a few pieces of apple to accompany the cream, or take another apple and sauté it with a little olive oil.
- Tip: if you like, you can add a little curry and mix to enjoy a rich curried cauliflower and apple cream.
- Once the cauliflower is cooked, take the pan off the heat and blend everything with an electric hand mixer until it’s like a smooth cream. If you see that it is very thick, you can add a little more water or broth and leave it to your liking.
- Return the pan to medium heat, add salt, taste and adjust until you like it. When serving the cauliflower and apple cream, you can put a few pieces of apple or pieces of fried bread on each plate, a drizzle of olive oil and a little pepper.
