Carrot confit and mashed potatoes

 Recipe taken from France info (Thierry Marx). Serves 4.



Ingredients:

  • 1 kg potatoes
  • A bunch of carrots (around 600g)
  • Olive oil
  • Crushed black pepper

Method:

Boil the potatoes with the skin (or steam). Peel them, mash them and with a fork whisk them with a fork with the olive oil. Add the pepper and set aside. 

Peel the carrots. Boil the peels until soft, remove and keep the water. 


 

Cut the carrots lengthwise, place in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil  and the crushed black pepper. Pour in the water from the carrot peels to cover. 


Bake at 180°C for about an hour. The carrots must be nicely grilled on one side and tender on the other.

Serve with the mash and the caramelised left over juice from the carrots.
