You already know how much we love creams and purees. They are very versatile dishes. They can be used for any occasion, both a quick, light dinner and a healthy lunch or starter. We can elaborate them with as many ingredients as we want, and they are a magnificent option of use when we do not know what to do with some vegetable that we have left in the fridge. But we also have recipes as sophisticated and delicious as this cream of cauliflower and roasted garlic. Undoubtedly, a very original and different way of eating cauliflower, and that will pleasantly surprise you.
This dish is a great option for all those who are looking to take care of their figure or maintain a healthy and light diet, but without sacrificing flavor. Well, this powerful cream will surprise you. Since it combines the softness and creaminess of cauliflower with the aromatic touch of roasted garlic, without becoming its classic spicy and strong flavor when we take it raw.
Cauliflower is also very healthy. It is loaded with essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals. It is also low in calories and rich in fiber, making it an ideal choice for those who wish to maintain a balanced diet. By using it as a base for our cream, we are giving it a touch of softness and a pleasant texture.
Of course, without forgetting garlic, a delicious superfood that is loaded with properties. In addition, by including roasted garlic in this cauliflower cream, its flavors are softened and sweetened. Eliminating any bitterness present in the raw garlic. Thus being easier to digest and less aggressive to the stomach.
As we are going to use roasted garlic for this recipe, we will take advantage of the fact that we turn on the oven to cook the cauliflower in it as well. We are not going to put the oven only for a head of garlic.
We cut the upper part of the garlic, the stalk, until the cloves are exposed. And, without peeling them, sprinkle a little oil on top and season to taste. Wrap well in aluminum foil, making a tightly closed package. Place on the oven tray.
In the same oven tray, on which we will have put a baking paper, we place the cauliflower. Previously cut into florets and seasoned with salt and pepper. We will also water it with a drizzle of oil. We bake everything together for about half an hour, or until it is tender.
Once we have the vegetables ready, we are going to give them the last touch cooking them together in the vegetable broth before crushing them to make the puree. This way, we will get them to be more tender and, in addition, all the flavors will be incorporated much better.
This recipe for cream of cauliflower and roasted garlic is a wonderful option for those who want to enjoy a comforting and nutritious dish. Serve the cream with some toasted bread croutons to give it that crunchy touch it lacks. Or, with some nuts, seeds, etc. Or, if you prefer, take a look at these other delicious creams that can get you out of more than one trouble for dinner.
