Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots (approximately 8 large carrots), cut in 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
- ½ cup cashews, toasted
Directions
- Cook the carrots in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring them to a boil, and then lower the heat. Cook until very tender (15 minutes).
- Heat a large skillet; add the oil and sauté the onion. Add the ginger, curry powder, and salt. Cook until the onion is very soft, approximately 4 minutes. You can add some of the carrot cooking liquid if needed.
- Drain the carrots and transfer to a food processor or heavy-duty blender (Vitamix). Do not try to use a standard blender. If your food processor is small, you will need to do this in multiple batches.
- Add the onion mixture and cashews to the carrots in the blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
