Cauliflower & lime leaf cream

Cauliflower & lime leaf cream

Servings 50 dishes

Ingredients

  • 700 g cauliflower without stem
  • 1 onion
  • 4 lime leaves
  • 1 lemongrass
  • 200 g vegetable broth
  • 200 g cream or coconut milk cream = 35% fat
  • 4 g salt
  • xanthan gum

Instructions

  • First cut 700 grams of cauliflower off the stem and cut it to the same size.
  • Then cut the onion in half and clean it. Now chop it.
  • Then add a drizzle of oil to a hot pan and glaze the onion on a low heat. Also add the lime leaves. Now take the lemongrass and break it with the back of a heavy knife. Then twist it into a knot.
  • Once the onions have softened add the cauliflower and then directly deglaze the pan with the vegetable broth, the cream or coconut milk, the lemongrass knot and the salt. I use coconut milk, but if you don't like the coconut flavor you can replace it with cream.
  • Now cover it with a piece of parchment paper and let it boil it almost all the liquid has evaporated. I added the paper for a more even cooking of the cauliflower.
  • Then remove the lime leaves and the lemongrass and transfer the cauliflower into a blender. Now blend it till smooth.
  • Once it’s smooth add a knife tip of xanthan gum to prevent the cream from leaking any liquid once platted. Blend it for another minute.
  • Then transfer it into a piping bottle and keep it in your fridge for later.
