RECIPE BY Cooking Light

Simmered carrots are lightly buttered, but a bit of tart cream adds an extra-silky richness. We like the smooth texture you get from pureeing in a food processor; if you prefer a chunkier texture, use a potato masher. Garnish with green onions for added color.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup crème fraîche
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
  • 3/4 teaspoon grated orange rind
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

I had to substitute fat free fromage blanc for the crème fraîche, but this was still amazing! I'm not a fan of orange flavor in my savory foods, so I omitted the rind and subbed apple cider for the juice. So, so delicious.

I followed the recipe as written and used the food processor. The dish was a little watery, and the orange flavor a little overpowering. I like the idea of a carrot mash very much, so I'm going to make these again without the orange zest and try mashing with a masher.

Overpowering

We aren't anti-orange, but the flavor was so overpowering to us we didn't eat it and tossed any extras.  I wasn't impressed enough to try this again with modifications, especially since we don't regularly keep creme fraiche in the house.

New Holiday Favorite!
