Purée
A purée (or mash) is cooked food, usually vegetables, fruits or legumes, that has been ground, pressed, blended or sieved to the consistency of a creamy paste or liquid.

The term "paste" is often used for purées intended to be used as an ingredient, rather than eaten immediately. Purées can be made in a blender, or ...
