INGREDIENTS

1 cup filtered water

INSTRUCTIONS

Pour the water into the pressure cooker. Arrange the trivet and steamer basket in the bottom. Arrange the broccoli in the steamer basket. Lock the lid in place. Cook at high pressure for 3 minutes.

Cool the puree completely. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
