Dushi di Karoti

Instructions

1. Peel the carrots and grate them finely or cut them into small dice.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then add the carrots and let them sweat for 5 minutes.
3. Pour in the milk, add the cinnamon, lemon zest and a pinch of salt, then simmer gently for 25 minutes, stirring often.
4. When the carrots are very soft, remove the cinnamon and mash the mixture to a smooth or slightly rustic texture.
5. Add the sugar and let it thicken for 5 minutes, then serve lukewarm or cold, sprinkled with coconut if you like.
