What's on the Menu - Make the perfect steak dish─── 17:24 Thu, 27 Jan 2022
This week, Chef Maradine shares some tips on how to make your next steak dish a bliss! Ever thought of adding a cauliflower mash?
Cauliflower pure
2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 medium cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into florets
1 sprig thyme
Kosher salt
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes; lower heat as necessary to prevent browning.
Add cauliflower, cream and/or stock, and thyme. Cover, bring to a simmer, and cook, adjusting heat to maintain simmer, until cauliflower is tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Uncover and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by about three-quarters, about 20 minutes. Discard thyme sprig.
Using a blender or immersion blender, blend cauliflower and liquid to form a very smooth purée. Season with salt. (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 whisking in liquid, such as stock, cream, or water.) Serve warm.
