Chef's Notes

  • For the smoothest possible puree, consider using a high-powered blender rather than a food processor if available. This will ensure a truly velvety texture.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning after pureeing. While the recipe doesn't call for salt or pepper, a pinch of each can enhance the flavors, especially if serving with richer dishes.
  • The acidity of the white wine is crucial for balancing the sharpness of the raw alliums. If you don't have dry white wine, a dry sherry or even a splash of white wine vinegar can be used in a pinch, but adjust the quantity carefully.
  • This puree is best used fresh. Its flavor will intensify over time, and the raw sharpness can become overwhelming if stored for too long.

Storage

Refrigerator: 3 daysStore in an airtight container to maintain aromatics.
