Carrot Puree
This flavorful and versatile recipe is from The Moosewood Cookbook by Molly Katzen.
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. cumin (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. minced fresh dill
  • 3 tbsp. orange juice (maybe more)
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup water
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking tray, and spreadout the carrots. Roast for 20 - 30 minutes, or until tender. Remove from oven and allow carrots to cool for about 15 minutes.

Put cooked carrots in a food processor or blender with all the other ingredients, and puree until very smooth (you may need to do this inbatches). For an even silkier result, pour the puree through a mesh strainer into a bowl.

Correct seasonings, if necessary. If you’d like, you could thin thepuree a little by adding a small amount of extra orange juice.

* Serve at room temperature in cooked aspargus or broccoli, as a garnish for soup, on crepes, zuccanoes, baked or grilled fish, or on whatever else you can think of.
