Hello.

I have made a bag of carrots into cooked carrot puree. Plan being to put an ice cube in to nanna's bolognese and chilli my dd's nearly live on. They are 5 and 1 and horribly fussy, so thought I'd try sneak a bit of veg in.

Anyway, turns out a bag of carrots makes a huge amount of puree. All my icecubes are full - so what to do with remains?

Other than soup. I'm not crazy about soup.

Any genius ideas?

TIA.

carrot cake (if you google it you will get the recipe

Carrot Pie

Filling and assembly:
2 cups pureed cooked carrots
1 1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 unbaked pie crust (see below)

Pie Crust:
2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup vegetable shortening
ice water

Filling and assembly:

Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
Mix all ingredients together at medium speed of electric mixer, blending thoroughly.
Pour into pie shell and bake at 450 degrees F for 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to 325 degrees F and continue cooking for 45 minutes, or until pie is set. Let cool about 10 minutes before serving.

Pie Crust:

  1. Mix flour and salt together in a bowl.
  2. Cut vegetable shortening into flour until mixture resembles course meal.
  3. Sprinkle with ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing quickly with a fork after each spoonful.
  4. Add only enough water so dough holds together and can be formed into a ball.
  5. Divide dough into 2 equal portions and form each into a smooth ball, handling as little as possible.
  6. Roll one portion out onto lightly floured surface.
  7. Place rolled dough in a 9-inch pie place; trim and flute edges.

Thank you for that, it looks good and very easy. Does the pie have a pastry lid?

I assumed carrot cake would need raw shredded carrot?

Cheers for your reply Smile
