Broccoli Puree

Broccoli is high in fiber, high in potassium and low in
calories. This recipe uses the stems, which are often
discarded.
INGREDIENTS
1 bunch broccoli, about 1-1/2 pounds
1 small onion, peeled
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
2-1/2 cups yield
Remove stems from broccoli and reserve florets. Use
slicing disc to slice stems and onion. Cook sliced
vegetables in boiling water to cover with 1/2 reserved
florets until tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain,
reserving liquid.
Use metal blade to puree solids with remaining
ingredients until smooth, about 1 minute.
Cut reserved florets into smaller florets and cook in
reserved liquid until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove
with slotted spoon. Pour enough hot cooking liquid
into work bowl to reach desired consistency, then
pulse in florets. Season to taste. Or serve the florets on
