What an oxymoron, I know. But I have never spoken truer words before. And I promise to address every single one of them below.<\/p>\n<h2>Perhaps I should explain why this puree was accidental in the first place.<\/h2>\n<p>It all started a few weeks ago. At the time, I needed to bring colors to my <a href=\"http:\/\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/leek-croquettes-and-other-vegetable-recipe-ideas\/\">cast iron grilled cabbage plate<\/a>. Since I had some old wrinkly carrots in the pantry, I set out to boil and puree them. On a whim, I tossed some cabbage scrapes in there. All this just for the sake of not wasting vegetables and improving my plating. As I reduced the boiled vegetables to a puree, I had no intention of actually eating it. In my mind, it was garnish. But I also knew it had to be edible. I, thus, seasoned it. Lightly. All this without trying to perfect it. Or at least I thought I wasn\u2019t perfecting it. Turns out, I had accidentally created a masterpiece.<\/p>\n<h2>My carrot puree was a burst of flavors.<\/h2>\n<p>It hit all the right chords on my carrot-hater palate. And I fell for it. I kid you not. I fell hard for this carrot puree. Real hard. And so did my family. The following weekend marked the beginning of our carrot puree au gratin adventure. Looking for the best recipe, we tried it without cabbage, with Haitian carrots and imported carrots. We were pleased with the results, every single time. The au gratin version is the one that stuck because it is thicker and creamier than the mere puree. \u00a0The final recipe I am sharing with you doesn\u2019t include cabbage anymore either. Turns out, the carrot puree au gratin is good in itself without any distracting ingredients.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3420\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/i-hate-carrots-but-i-love-this-carrot-puree-au-gratin\/haiti-carrot-puree-gratin-de-carottes-tchakayiti\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/haiti-carrot-puree-gratin-de-carottes-tchakayiti.jpg?fit=1200%2C1800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;All rights reserved.

The Haitian carrot version was a shocker for me. I typically have a strong aversion for these local carrots. They\u2019re organic, hormone free. They\u2019re thus bold in flavor. Bolder than their imported counterparts. They\u2019re carrots that taste like carrots. Carrots I hate because they taste like a carrot should. Yet, in that puree, they taste nothing like the carrots I always avoid at all costs. Bright and colorful both on the plate and the palate, this puree took carrots to another level for me.<\/p>\n<h2>Though I still avoid the vegetable in other forms, this carrot puree au gratin is one I will definitely keep on making.<\/h2>\n<p>This recipe is one for the books. The most amazing thing about it all is that the vegetables are not buried under a rich sauce that could alter or hide their taste. This is purely pureed carrots seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, a splash of cream and some grated T\u00eate de Maure (aged Edam) cheese. Nothing less, nothing more. But somehow, it has conquered my carrot-hater palate.<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-3424\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"3424\" data-servings=\"4\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-chic\"><div class=\"wprm-container-float-right\">\n    <div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;border-radius: 3px;\" width=\"167\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/carrot-puree-gratin-de-carottes-tchakayiti.jpg?fit=167%2C250&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-250x250 size-250x250\" alt=\"This carrot puree au gratin is a burst of flavors.

What an oxymoron, I know. But I have never spoken truer words before. And I promise to address every single one of them below. Perhaps I should explain why this puree was accidental in the first place. It all started a few weeks ago. At the time, I needed to bring colors to my cast iron grilled cabbage plate. Since I had some old wrinkly carrots in the pantry, I set out to boil and puree them. On a whim, I tossed some cabbage scrapes in there. All this just for the sake of not wasting vegetables and improving my plating. As I reduced the boiled vegetables to a puree, I had no intention of actually eating it. In my mind, it was garnish. But I also knew it had to be edible. I, thus, seasoned it. Lightly. All this without trying to perfect it. Or at least I thought I wasn\u2019t perfecting it. Turns out, I had accidentally created a masterpiece. My carrot puree was a burst of flavors. It hit all the right chords on my carrot-hater palate. And I fell for it. I kid you not. I fell hard for this carrot puree. Real hard. And so did my family. The following weekend marked the beginning of our carrot puree au gratin adventure. Looking for the best recipe, we tried it without cabbage, with Haitian carrots and imported carrots. We were pleased with the results, every single time. The au gratin version is the one that stuck because it is thicker and creamier than the mere puree. \u00a0The final recipe I am sharing with you doesn\u2019t include cabbage anymore either. Turns out, the carrot puree au gratin is good in itself without any distracting ingredients. The most surprising part for me, however, is the fact that the taste remained pleasant regardless of the type of carrots we used. The Haitian carrot version was a shocker for me. I typically have a strong aversion for these local carrots. They\u2019re organic, hormone free. They\u2019re thus bold in flavor. Bolder than their imported counterparts. They\u2019re carrots that taste like carrots. Carrots I hate because they taste like a carrot should. Yet, in that puree, they taste nothing like the carrots I always avoid at all costs. Bright and colorful both on the plate and the palate, this puree took carrots to another level for me. Though I still avoid the vegetable in other forms, this carrot puree au gratin is one I will definitely keep on making. This recipe is one for the books. The most amazing thing about it all is that the vegetables are not buried under a rich sauce that could alter or hide their taste. This is purely pureed carrots seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, a splash of cream and some grated T\u00eate de Maure (aged Edam) cheese. Nothing less, nothing more. But somehow, it has conquered my carrot-hater palate. This carrot puree au gratin is simple, yet bursting with flavors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3419,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"When I prepared this carrot puree au gratin, I was far from imagining the wonderful world of flavors I would discover.
