POTATO BASIL PUREE



Potato Basil Puree image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups fresh basil leaves, lightly packed
2 pounds large Yukon Gold or white boiling potatoes
1 cup half-and-half
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and fill a bowl with ice water. Add the basil leaves to the boiling water and cook for exactly 15 seconds. Remove the basil with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge the leaves into the ice water to set the bright green color. Drain and set aside.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut them in quarters. Add the potatoes to the same pot of boiling water and return to a boil. Cook the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, until very tender. Drain well, return to the saucepan, and steam over low heat until any remaining water evaporates.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the half-and-half and Parmesan cheese until the cream simmers. Place the basil in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree. Add the hot cream mixture and process until smooth.
  • With a handheld mixer with the beater attachment, beat the hot potatoes in the pot until they are broken up. Slowly add the hot basil cream, the salt, and pepper and beat until smooth. If the potatoes need to be reheated, cover and cook gently over low heat for a few minutes. Pour into a serving bowl, sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese, season to taste, and serve hot.

BASIL PURéE



Basil Purée image

Blanching the basil before puréeing it will help the herb retain some of its bright green color. The purée gets layered with slow-roasted tomatoes in the Tomato Confit, Basil & Goat Cheese Terrine for a stunning appetizer. If you like, reserve the basil-infused oil that drains the the purée to garnish the finished terrine.

Provided by Stephen Kalt

Yield Yields about 1/2 cup purée.

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 cups lightly packed basil leaves (about 2-1/2 oz.)
2 to 3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • Fill a medium bowl with ice water. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the basil for 20 seconds. Dunk the basil in the ice water for a few seconds. Drain well and gently squeeze out excess moisture with towels. Put the basil in a food processor (a mini one works well) with 2 Tbs. of the olive oil. Purée well, adding more olive oil if needed to chop finely. To drain the excess oil, put the purée in a coffee cup or a custard cup lined with a paper coffee filter or cheesecloth for 15 to 20 minutes.
