Carrot And Potato Purée Recipes

CARROT AND POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a pot large enough to also accommodate the carrots. Add enough water to cover the vegetables by 2 inches, sprinkle generously with salt, and bring to a boil. When the water has been boiling about 10 minutes, add the carrots and cook until both vegetables are "fork tender". Drain.
• Bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Meanwhile, pass the carrots and potatoes through a food mill into a large bowl. Add about one-quarter of the hot cream and 2 pats of the butter, stirring vigorously until thoroughly combined. Repeat this process until all of the remaining cream and butter have been incorporated. Taste for seasoning (you will probably have to add salt).
• Serve immediately in a warm serving bowl or keep warm until ready to use.

SPICED CARROT PUREE

Steps:

• Combine the carrots and potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Season the water generously with salt and toss in the cinnamon stick and garlic. Bring the water to a boil and boil until the carrots and potatoes are fork tender. Remove from the water.
• Place the butter in a small saute pan and cook until the butter is melted, browned and smells like hazelnuts. Remove from the heat and stir in the ground cumin, nutmeg and cayenne.
• Pass the carrots and potatoes through a food mill. Stir in the spiced butter vigorously. Taste and make sure the carrot puree is delicious. Re-season if needed. Serve hot.
