Potato And Carrot Puree image

This puree is excellent, especially if served immediately after it is prepared. Although we could have used a food mill, we pureed the vegetables in a food processor. If you puree potato only in this manner it will get ''cordy'' but, with the addition of the vegetable cooking liquid and the carrots, the mixture takes on a creamy though slightly chunky consistency, with pieces of potato and carrot still visible throughout.

Time 40m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and carrots in a saucepan and cover with cool water. Bring to a boil and boil gently for 30 minutes, until tender.
  • Using a skimmer, remove the potatoes and carrots and place in the bowl of a food processor with one cup of the cooking liquid. Add the cream, butter, salt and pepper and process for 20 to 30 seconds, until creamy but still slightly chunky.
  • Serve as soon as possible, mounding the puree next to the sliced roast on each serving plate and spooning juice from the roast over it for added flavor.

Overall, I was disappointed with this recipe. It wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be and the texture was not very good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my puree didn't turn out as smooth as I expected. I think I might have overcooked the vegetables.

The puree was a bit too thick for my liking. I would have preferred it to be a bit thinner.

This puree was a little bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of vegetables, but this puree was surprisingly good! The sweetness of the carrots and the creaminess of the potatoes were a great combination.
