A Glowing Holiday Dinner
 
Puree of Fennel and Broccoli
Servings: 10  
 


Puree of Fennel and Broccoli  

Fresh fennel usually makes its appearance around the holiday season, so this is a good time to try this dish if you have never cooked with this aromatic vegetable.
 
 

 

INGREDIENTS

1 head fresh broccoli (florets only)
1 bulb fresh fennel
1/4 cup heavy cream or whole milk
1 medium onion, chopped
  Clarified butter
3 tablespoons assorted fresh herbs of choice
  Salt and pepper
 



METHOD

Par-boil the broccoli for about 3 minutes. Remove any battered outer fronds from the fennel as well as any stalks. Working with the body of the vegetable, slice the fennel, julienne style, and par boil for about 5 minutes or until tender. While both the broccoli and the fennel are still warm, puree them together in a food processor with the heavy cream, just until incorporated.

In a medium saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, sauté the onion in the clarified butter over high heat until golden brown, almost caramelized. Add the onion to the broccoli/fennel mixture and puree again until all of the ingredients are well mixed. Mix the fresh herbs together, add to the puree and toss together well. Season to taste, with salt and pepper.
