Preparation

Milk carrots

1

First, peel the carrots with a knife or potato peeler. Rinse the carrots under cold running water, then dry them and cut them into rounds , trying to always maintain the same thickness to ensure that the final cooking is homogeneous.

2

In a thick-bottomed pan, melt the butter , add the flour and mix with a wooden spoon, leaving to cook for a couple of minutes.

3

Mixing with a whisk, add the milk .

4

Add the carrots , give a quick stir and cover with the lid. Let them cook until they are tender – about 15 minutes – adding water if necessary if they dry out.

5

Season with salt and pepper and serve, completing with a sprinkling of fresh chopped parsley .

Variants

This side dish lends itself to different variations, all equally simple and which leave the preparation time of the dish unchanged. Let's see them all:

  • without butter : you can replace the butter provided in the recipe with 30 g of extra virgin olive oil or seed oil. Furthermore, if you want to obtain a 100% plant-based recipe, use unsweetened soy or oat milk instead of cow's milk.
  • without flour : in case of gluten intolerance, use 15 g of corn starch instead of flour.
  • carrots in milk and parmesan : adding a sprinkling of parmesan once cooked will give the dish a pleasant note of flavour. 30 grams will be enough.
  • spicy : not everyone loves the sweet flavor of carrots, which is why we recommend trying them by adding a generous teaspoon of curry powder to the roux (the butter and flour base prepared upon delivery).
