More Vegetarian Blender Magic
Since getting a blender for a Christmas present I've been experimenting heavily with purees. I make all manner of toppings for my salads and other foods. My latest effort was quite successful if I do say so myself.
I kinda took a hint from an episode of "Chopped" and cooked some of the ingredients before adding them to my blender. Actually a lot of the components took cooking, but it turned out great.
I made an onion broth. I also sauteed some kale, broccoli and garlic. There were a few other things added too.
Onion Broth Ingredients:
Skins from one medium sweet onion
3 cloves broken garlic
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 pat butter
1/4 tsp coriander
2 tsps soy sauce
2 green tea bags
1 tbl sriracha
1 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
Several turns fresh cracked black pepper
Bring all ingredient to a boil and then simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Use a tongs to squeeze and remove tea bags. Continue to simmer 5-10 more minutes or until the broth is dark and rich. Again use your tongs to discard the onion skins. Add the broth to your blender.
In a separate frying pan saute in a dash of olive oil 1/2 cup chopped kale, 1/4 cup chopped broccoli and several cloves of chopped garlic. When kale and broccoli are bright green and garlic is aromatic add to blender.
Add 1/4 tsp cumin, 2 tsps olive oil, 1/2 tsp paprika. 1/4 tsp cayenne. 2 tbls sriracha. 1 tbl cream cheese.
Puree.
Let cool and enjoy right away or let sit in the fridge for a few hours to intensify the flavors.
