Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into evenly sized pieces, roughly 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced carrots to the boiling water and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are very tender when pierced with a fork.
While the carrots are cooking, mince the garlic cloves.
Once the carrots are tender, drain them well and return them to the pot.
Add the coconut milk, ghee, minced garlic, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper to the pot with the carrots.
Using an immersion blender or a potato masher, blend or mash the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.
Taste the mash and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the creamy carrot mash to a serving bowl and garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired.
Serve the mash warm as a delicious side dish to complement your favorite paleo entree.
