Amazing! I thought this puree was simply mouth-watering! We served it alongside an herbed pork tenderloin and it was perfect. I just peppered it to taste, but the lemon was fine. Many people have commented that it was too lemony, but I just tasted as we went and I thought it was great.

This recipe was amazing and I will for sure make it again. Instead of chicken stock I used vegetable stock. I also added butter. I left out the lemon juice and didnt use as much pepper. Amazing recipe!

felt that a tablespoon of pepper just overwhelmed the puree and made it inedible, perhaps it should have been a teaspoon???
