Instructions
Fill a large stock pot with a few inches of water, fit with the steamer insert, and set on the stovetop over medium high.
Once the water begins to boil, place all prepped vegetables into the strainer and season with salt. Cover with a lid, and reduce heat to medium low.
Steam veggies for 20-25 minutes or until tender and easily pierced with a fork. Using a slotted spoon, transfer veggies to a food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Reserve your cooking liquid.
Add ghee, butter, or oil, 1/2 cup cooking liquid, and season with salt and pepper. Process mixture until incorporated and smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed. If your mixture is too dry, add reserved cooking liquid one tablespoon at a time and pulse to combine.
Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
Notes
We love this dish as a side item paired with a rich protein, but it also becomes a base for several other dishes. Used as a topping in our Cast Iron Shepherd's Pie, and as the gravy base in our Sausage Gravy and Biscuits.
