Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make carrot filling for pies? Prepare all ingredients. If you like carrot filling with the aroma of cinnamon, then when stewing you should add a couple of pinches of ground cinnamon to enhance the taste. Choose juicy varieties of carrots, not fodder ones. Peel the root vegetables and rinse thoroughly in water. When preparing the filling for a large number of pies or pies, increase the amount of ingredients for the dish accordingly.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grate the peeled and washed vegetables on a large-mesh grater. You can also grind them in the bowl of a food processor.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place butter in a dry frying pan, place it on the stove, turn on medium heat and melt the butter until almost boiling. It is not recommended to replace butter with spread or margarine - they will give the filling a bitter, unnatural taste. How to choose the right frying pan, read the article, the link is at the end of this recipe.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the chopped carrot mixture into the pan, stir gently to absorb the melted butter.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add granulated sugar, ground cinnamon and vanilla sugar if desired. You can even add a couple of drops of citrus essence - carrots harmonize perfectly with this addition. Pour in water. By the way, many chefs recommend adding lemon or orange juice, either freshly squeezed or purchased, instead of water.

6. STEP 6

   

   Simmer the contents of the frying pan for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetable mass becomes soft and juicy, juice should be released from it. Once this happens, you can turn off the heat and let the prepared carrot filling cool slightly. You can make the filling in advance and cool it in the refrigerator; the shelf life of the dish is 2-3 days in the cold.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the delicious sweet carrot pie filling in a bowl or bowl before preparing the pies or pies.

Thanks for the simple recipe. Here is another option - fried carrots with onions. It is good to add to various dishes, including as a filling in pies.

I would say that the carrot filling for pies is quite unique. My husband and daughter each ate one pie and didn’t really like it. My dad didn't appreciate it either. My son liked it and said it tasted good with tea. I found them to taste better cold. As they say, there are no comrades according to taste. I had large carrots, so I only took one. In addition to sugar, I added a couple more pinches of cinnamon and a little lemon juice. You can feel the taste of carrots when they are hot, but I didn’t feel it in the cooled pies. This was my first time making pies with carrots. Thanks for the recipe and for the opportunity to experiment.
