SallyBR, I made the Pepin Broccoli Puree with Brown Butter this week. We liked it, I'm not sure I

From my experience....

.... it never gets totally smooth, not as a mashed potato would

I prefer it that way, rather than overcooking the broccoli and don't mind a little "texture".

FOr this recipe, I think the most important step is to make sure the butter gets brown, without burning - if the butter is not brown, the flavor tends to bee a bit too bland

I wish Pepin could say his thoughts, because now you got me curious... did I do it as HE intended it to be? smileys/smile.gif

 
And thanks for mentioning you use leftover in souffle. I did that last night, using my favorite

cheese spinach souffle recipe substituting the leftover broccoli for the spinach. It was really good. I also don't mind the broccoli with texture, just wondered if it was supposed to be that way.

 
I confes....

.... that sometimes I make the puree JUST to be able to make the souffle later smileys/smile.gif

it's such a great use for it, in my humble opinion

I also adapted that exact same recipe to make cauliflower puree, adding a little bit of paprika to it too. Delish!
