Ingredients

  • 1 kg Carrot
  • 100 g Sugar
  • 50 g Butter
  • Pistachio
  • Almond
  • 1 litre Milk

Instructions

  • Start by adding the butter to a pan and melt it over low to medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped carrots to the pan and sauté them for a few minutes until they start to soften and lightly caramelise.
  • Next, pour in the milk, stirring to combine, and cover the pan. Allow the mixture to cook on low heat for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning and to ensure even cooking.
  • Once the carrots are tender, use a masher to mash them into a smooth consistency.
  • Add the sugar to the pan and cook the mixture until most of the milk has evaporated, leaving behind a thicker, caramelised texture.
  • Finally, add the dried fruits (pistachios and almonds) and continue cooking until any remaining moisture has dried up, creating a rich, flavourful mixture. Keep stirring to prevent sticking.
  • Once done, your dish is ready to serve.
