Roasted Carrot And Turnip Puree Recipes

Steps:

• Put the vegetables in a skillet just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add enough water so that it comes halfway up their sides along with the butter and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then adjust the heat to maintain a simmer. Cover the vegetables with a round of parchment paper just large enough to fit the inside diameter of the pan, or with a lid set ajar. Simmer the vegetables until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the cover and raise the heat to high. Toss the vegetables frequently in the pan, as the liquid evaporates to a shiny smooth glaze. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the turnips, milk, thyme and garlic in a medium saucepan. Set over medium heat and partially cover the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until the turnips are tender-the tip of a paring knife should go through without resistance.
• Drain the turnips, reserving the cooking liquid, and transfer to a food processor (discard the thyme sprigs). Add about 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid and the butter, season with plenty of salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Add more of the liquid, if necessary. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a roasting pan, combine the carrots with the oil, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Roast the carrots, stirring occasionally until tender and browned, about 25 minutes. In a food processor puree the carrots with the butter, milk, and lemon juice.

Steps:

• Cut out a parchment paper circle (a cartouche) to have the same diameter as a medium saucepan. Put the butter, carrots, turnips, water, and salt in the saucepan and set over medium heat. When the butter has melted, cover the saucepan with the parchment paper cartouche. Cook the vegetables until tender and then smash to a puree.
