<p>Broccoli and cheddar are a classic pairing. Here we use a combination of baking soda and high-pressure cooking to undo the structure of the broccoli so that it can be turned into a silken puree that pairs well with roasted meats and grilled seafood. This same technique can be adapted to other durable plant foods, such as cauliflower, to make them easy to blend smooth.</p>
