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.
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.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and brightly colored. Avoid carrots that are limp, bruised, or have blemishes.
- Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you are cooking a lot of carrots, cook them in batches. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the carrots from cooking evenly.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid will add flavor to the carrots. You can use water, broth, or even coconut milk.
- Add spices and herbs: Spices and herbs will add depth of flavor to the carrots. Some popular options include cumin, coriander, ginger, and turmeric.
- Cook the carrots until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the carrots. Insert a fork into the carrots to check for tenderness.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will add a pop of color and flavor to the carrots. Some popular options include cilantro, parsley, and mint.
Conclusion:
Mashed spiced carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give mashed spiced carrots a try!
