Cauliflower And Date Potage Recipe

	Barbiemensher / All my dishes 9 months, 4 weeks ago This potage is fairly low fat yet very satisfying. It does tend to stink up the house when you make it so you may want to prepare this a day before if you plan on serving it to guests. All soups are better the next day, anyway.

Ingredients

1 large head of cauliflower - washed, green leaves removed and cut into chunks, core and all.

6-12 dry dates - pitted and finely chopped

12 cups of stock of your choice or water

1 bouquet garnis:1 smashed garlic clove, 3 sprigs thyme, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 cinnamon stick, 1 clove - wrap in cheesecloth and tie with string

1 tsp salt (unless stock is already seasoned - add only to taste)

1/4 tsp white pepper

Directions

Bring stock or water to a boil.

Add all of the ingredients except the dates and cook, covered, for 25 minutes until the cauliflower is very soft.

Remove the bouquet garnis and remove 1/2 of the liquid and reserve it.

Using an emulsion blender, whizz/mash the cauliflower to a fine purée and if necessary, add just enough cooking liquid to achieve a thick, creamy potage or your desired consistency.*You can also use a blender and do it in batches.

Taste for salt and sweetness. If you can't taste the date, add 1 or 2 at a time until you find the perfect sweetness to your liking.

I serve this with a drizzle of cinnamon crème fraiche and some date slivers on top.
