Carrot and rice pur‚e

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 (to 10) unpeeled carrots cut into 1\" chunks
⅓ cup White rice
½ cup Vegetable or other stock
⅓ cup Low-fat milk
¼ teaspoon Five-spice powder
1 tablespoon Butter
1 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Pepper

Directions

1. Bring the carrots, rice, and stock to a boil in a medium saucepan.

Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Add the milk a few seconds before removing the pan from the heat.

2. Pour the contents of the pan into a food process and add the five-spice powder, butter, salt and pepper. Pur‚e; the consistency should be thick, similar to mashed potatoes. Serve hot.

Note: Can be prepared several hours in advance and reheated in a bain-marie. To make your own bain-marie, put the pur‚e in a small saucepan and then put the saucepan into a skillet filled to a depth of 1-inch with water. Turn the heat to high until the water boils, then turn it down to medium and heat just until the pur‚e is warmed through.
