Sweet Potato And Carrot Puree Food

SILKY SWEET POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position; heat to 425 degrees. Place potatoes on a foil-lined pan; bake 45 to 60 minutes, until tender. Peel when cool enough to handle.
• Puree with salt and pepper in a food processor. With motor running, gradually add milks through feeder tube, then butter. Process until silken. (Can make up to 2 days ahead; store in an airtight container.) Reheat and serve.

CARROT AND YAM PUREE

Steps:

• In a saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until aromatic. Add the carrots, yams, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until slightly softened. Add the stock and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the carrots are tender, about 25 minutes. Using a ladle, remove 2 cups of the cooking liquid and reserve. Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture until slightly chunky, adding the reserved cooking liquid, 1/4 cup at a time, if needed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Cook's Note: The carrot mixture can also be drained in a colander and working in batches, blended in a food processor or blender.

FLUFFY MASHED SWEET POTATOES AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Rinse, peel, and chop potatoes and carrots into large bite-sized pieces (see photo) and add to a large pot or Dutch oven. Cover with water by about 1 inch to ensure they're submerged.
• Bring water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, slightly reduce heat to medium-high and continue cooking at a slightly less rapid boil for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are very tender (they should easily fall off a knife when pierced).
• Drain carrots and potatoes and add back to the pot (or to a food processor or blender for a whipped purée effect). Add butter of choice, minced garlic, ginger, turmeric, and sea salt to taste. Mash (or purée) until smooth. We found a food processor to give the creamiest texture, but mashing works fine, too (it just leaves a bit more texture).
• Add more butter (or a bit of water) as needed to get creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more butter for creaminess, spices to taste, or sea salt to taste.
• Serve hot. Garnish with additional butter of choice, fresh parsley, and salt and pepper (all optional). Store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 4-5 days.

BROCCOLI AND SWEET POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potato and cut into chunks. Place in a pan, fill with just enough water to cover and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the broccoli florets to the pan; cover and cook for 5 minutes. The vegetables should now be tender.
• Drain. Add the milk to the pan and then use a stick blender to blend the vegetables to form a smooth, lump free puree. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

CARROT AND POTATO PURéE

Steps:

• Cook carrots in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, until very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While carrots are boiling, peel potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Transfer cooked carrots with a slotted spoon to a food processor. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook, uncovered, until tender, about 10 minutes, then drain in a colander.
• While potatoes are cooking, purée carrots in food processor with 1/4 cup cream until smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Heat butter and remaining 1/4 cup cream in pot over moderate heat, stirring, until butter is melted, then force potatoes through ricer into pot. Add carrot purée, sea salt, and pepper to taste and stir until combined well.

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.
