Método
Rinse the red1 lentils in cold water until the water runs clear; peel the carrot2 and potato3; cut them into 2 cm cubes; prepare a pot with a capacity of at least 2 liters; preheat the pot over medium heat.
Place the washed lentils, carrot2 and potato3 in the pot, pour water to cover by 2–3 cm, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low.
Simmer on low for about 20 minutes until the lentils and vegetables are soft; remember to stir occasionally and monitor the water level.
Remove the pot from heat; let stand for a minute, then blend with the cooking liquid until smooth.
Add a little more liquid from the broth if needed to reach the creamy texture you want.
Add the butter and stir until fully melted and homogeneous; season to taste while stirring.
Serve warm; store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day; reheat over medium heat, diluting with water or broth to the desired consistency if needed.
Consejos
- Por qué así
- Cut carrot and potato into 2 cm cubes so they cook evenly and don’t turn mushy or stay hard.
- Sustituciones
- Use sweet potato (40g) for a deeper flavor, or swap olive oil for butter (3g) if preferred.
- Errores frecuentes
- Overcooking turns the mash grayish. Check doneness by mashing a piece; it should break easily.
- Guardar y recalentar
- Eat within 1 day. Reheat gently with a splash of water or stock to restore creaminess.
- Con qué servir
- Pair with buttered toast for a simple lunch, or serve alongside grilled chicken strips.
En resumen
- Porción infantil para edades de 1–3 años; apta desde 10 meses. Para niños más pequeños, divídela a la mitad y haz puré.
