Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and cut the carrots into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Add the carrot pieces and garlic cloves to the boiling water. Cook for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the carrots and garlic thoroughly in a colander and return them to the pot.
Add the olive oil, coconut cream, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the carrots and garlic.
Using an immersion blender, blend the cooked carrots and ingredients until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender in batches and blend until smooth.
Taste the mash and adjust seasoning by adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the creamy carrot mash to a serving bowl, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
