Carrot puree with garlic and chicken broth

Carrot puree with garlic and chicken broth is a delicious and nutritious dish that makes a perfect side or even a base for soups and other recipes. The combination of sweet carrots, fragrant garlic, creamy texture, and savory chicken broth brings a balanced flavor profile to your meal.

Ingredients:

1 tsp butter
4.73g
1 garlic clove
3g
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
30g
1/3 cup chicken broth
80g
1/4 tsp salt
1.50g
3 carrots
180g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Carrots: Start by peeling and chopping the carrots into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
2. Cook the Carrots: Place the chopped carrots in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover them. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and let the carrots simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the carrots and set them aside.
3. Sauté the Garlic: In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn it.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked carrots back into the saucepan with the sautéed garlic. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
5. Blend the Mixture: Transfer the contents of the saucepan to a blender or food processor. Add the heavy whipping cream and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You can adjust the consistency with more chicken broth if necessary.
6. Season and Serve: Taste the puree and adjust the salt if needed. If the puree is not warm enough, you can return it to the saucepan and gently heat it over low heat, stirring constantly.
7. Garnish and Enjoy: Serve the carrot puree hot as a side dish. You can garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a dash of freshly ground black pepper if desired.

Tips:

- Choose fresh and tender carrots for the best flavor and texture.

- For a smoother puree, make sure to fully cook the carrots until they are very soft.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic to suit your taste preferences.

- Using homemade chicken broth can add deeper flavor compared to store-bought varieties.

- You can add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for a unique twist on the flavor.
