Instructions

Cook & Puree Food

Cook cauliflower by boiling (in water or stock), steaming, or slow roasting until well cooked. Strain liquid well.
Weigh ingredients.
Place cooked cauliflower in a blender or food processor. Puree on high until smooth, scraping down sides as required.
Pass pureed cauliflower through a fine sieve to remove any lumps and achieve a smoother consistency.

Activate Shape It Powder

Place pureed cauliflower and Shape It Powder into a saucepan, bring to the boil over medium heat.
Reduce heat and simmer gently for 2 minutes, stirring as required.
Season to taste.

Pour into Mould & Set

Lightly spray the Shape It Florets Mould or line a container with cling film or baking paper.
Pour the mixture into prepared Shape It Mould or container to desired thickness and spread evenly with a spatula. Cover with Mould Lid or cling film and refrigerate until set.

Store or Serve

Remove from mould.
Store in freezer or prepare to serve. If freezing, wrap each portion securely.
To reheat, refer to the Shape It Reheating Guide.
Before serving, test for IDDSI Level 4 Pureed: To test, use the Spoon Tilt Test and Fork Drip Test. It should be smooth and free of lumps. For more information on IDDSI testing, click here.
