TopVegetable Coulis and Purées
Harvest time is the perfect time to take advantage of the cornucopia of Quebec produce and stock up on vegetables and new cooking discoveries. Buy some vegetables that you’ve never tried before (celeriac, parsnip, rutabaga, etc.) and enjoy them with your family. Vegetables can be prepared in myriad ways: raw, soups, purées, coulis or juice. The possibilities are endless.
Vegetable coulis
Vegetable coulis can be dressed in various ways and served hot or cold. They make an excellent accompaniment for any number of meat, fish and vegetable dishes. Coulis add a grace note to omelettes and quiches, heighten the flavour of sauces and make a great base for cream soups. Colourful, nutritious and low in calories, coulis are a snap to make. Simply sauté your favourite vegetables, season (basil, oregano, thyme, etc.), add a little liquid (bouillon, vegetable juice, cream, etc.) and simmer about twenty minutes. Then mince the mixture using a food processor, food mill or sieve to give it a uniform, fine consistency.
Vegetable purées
Purées like juices, are perfect for feeding vegetables to infants. Sweet potatoes, cauliflower, rutabaga, carrots, beets, parsnips, celeriac, squash...there’s no lack of choice! Cooked broccoli, some herbs, a little garlic, a pat of butter, a splash of milk and a food processor equals perfect purée. For more intense flavour, add a little horseradish to a purée. Mix 2 or 3 vegetables to create new taste sensations and colour combinations. It’s a guaranteed hit!
