MASHED CARROTS

Steps:

CARROT MASH

Steps:

• Peel and roughly chop 2 pounds carrots. Cook in boiling salted water until soft, about 20 minutes; drain. Puree with 3 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil with 1 teaspoon each grated ginger and orange zest; drizzle over the mash.
• Use a food processor or immersion blender to puree these veggies-they're too fibrous for a potato masher.

MASHED CARROTS WITH PERNOD

Steps:

• Boil the carrots for 20 mins until tender, then drain and return to the pan. Mash with the butter, Pernod and plenty of seasoning until fairly smooth and most of the moisture has evaporated. Tip in a bowl and cover. This will keep in the fridge for 2 days. On the day, heat in the microwave on High for 7 mins, or in the oven for 20 mins, until piping hot.

MASHED POTATOES AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Put potatoes & carrots in a large saucepan, then cover with about 2 inches of lightly salted cold water.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover & boil slowly for about 20 minutes, or until both vegetables are very tender. Drain thoroughly & reserve 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
• Mash vegetables, then add the butter & the reserved hot cooking liquid, beating until the mixture is fairly smooth.
• Add the cream, salt & pepper & beat until nearly smooth ~ Small lumps of carrot are not a problem!
• Reward over low heat, beating constantly, then serve. DO NOT COVER AFTER THEY ARE MASHED, OR THE VEGETABLES WILL BECOME MUSHY.
