Vegetable Purée Saves The Day! (1)

Vegetablepurée is underrated. Yup that is what I said. Not used nearly enough. Vegetable Purée is a healthy, easy side dish that adds a little ‘fancy’ to the plate and if you are on a Paleo/ Whole 30 plan it can create interest and alleviate boredom. That is why I say Vegetable puree can save the day!

We make cauliflower puree regularly and love it, but recently we added carrot, butternut squash, sweet potato and parsnip to our repertoire! The carrot and sweet potato purées are sweet, the butternut squash is rich and savory, the parsnip is subtle and creamy and the cauliflower tastes, looks and feels like mashed potatoes! Serve with your choice of protein and a green salad and you have a delectable, healthy dinner! I save left overs for lunch the next day. (Find this steak recipe here)

Only Three Ingredients:

Vegetable purée is very easy to make and only contains three ingredients: the vegetable of your choice, butter, clarified butter or ghee, and chicken stock. Now I am just going to give you a word of advice, homemade chicken stock makes all the difference. (my recipe below) But if you just aren’t down with that use store bought.
