CARROT MASH WITH ORANGE AND MINT
Steps:
- Put the carrots in a 4-quart saucepan with enough cool water to cover by at least 1 inch. Add 1 tsp. salt and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and cook at a gentle boil until the carrots can be easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes. Drain well in a colander, letting the steam rise for a few minutes. Meanwhile, heat the butter, cream, oil, mint, orange zest, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a dash of hot sauce in the saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted. For a rustic texture, return the carrots to the pan and mash with a potato masher to the consistency you like. For a smooth texture (shown), purée the carrots in a food processor until smooth and then add them to the pan, stirring well to combine. Season to taste with more orange zest, salt, or hot sauce before serving.

zurigh79@hotmail.comThis carrot mash was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less orange juice and more mint. Otherwise, it was a well-made dish.
