Ingredients
- 1000 grams carrots
- 150 ml low-fat milk
- 50 grams low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and chop the carrots into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the chopped carrots in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the carrots are very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the carrots and return them to the pot.
Add the low-fat milk and mash the carrots using a potato masher or an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the low-fat plain yogurt and continue to mash to achieve your desired consistency.
Season with salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Transfer the carrot mash to a serving bowl, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
