Carrot Puree with Turmeric and Basil
Main Dishes • World
Description
You can add a tablespoon of tahini for a more Middle Eastern flavor, but in that case, it doesn't make sense to use neutral grape seed oil. Olive oil can be used instead.
Ingredients
- Carrots 20 oz
- Grape Seed Oil 0 fl oz
- Fresh Basil ½ bunch
- Ground Cumin ½ teaspoon
- Turmeric 1 teaspoon
- Salt to taste
- Ground Black Pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Peel 500 grams of carrots and cut them into 1 cm thick sticks.
Step 2
Cover with water and boil until tender. Check for doneness with a knife, similar to potatoes.
Step 3
Place the carrots in a food processor, add grape seed oil (which is neutral and won't overpower other flavors like olive oil), and add the basil leaves and stems, reserving a few for garnish, along with the ground cumin and turmeric.
Step 4
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Blend everything until smooth, adding more grape seed oil if necessary.
Step 6
Top with fresh basil leaves.
Step 7
Serve as a side dish or as a standalone vegan dish.
