Ingredients
- 1 kg carrots, peeled or scrubbed
- 2 to 3 tablespoons butter, (or more if preferred see note below)
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup chicken stock (see note below)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 sprig thyme (roughly chopped)
- Nutmeg, to season (optional)
How to Make
-
Step 1: NOTE: How much stock and butter you use is optional. It depends on the consistency you prefer*
-
Step 2: Cut the carrots into even sizes (about 1 inch or 3cm) and boil the carrots in a saucepan of boiling water until they are soft, (or until a fork or knife can be easily inserted in the carrots - boiling will take about 15 minutes.)
-
Step 3: Drain carrots from the water, and add the carrots back to the saucepan.
-
Step 4: Add the butter (if using), chicken stock, thyme, salt & pepper.
-
Step 5: Mash the carrots with a potato masher until smooth. (I used a stick blender).
-
Step 6: Serve with a sprinkle of nutmeg (if desired) and a little butter if required.
