Carrots in the oven (Porkkana Laatikko)

Ingredients: 1kg of carrots
water and salt
3 dl of milk
2 eggs
about 1 tsp of salt
1 1/2 tblsp of sugar
1/2 - 1 tsp of nutmeg grated
1-2 dl cooked risotto rice

On Top: 1 tblsp of breadcrumbs
25 g of butter

I use foil dishes for baking. Grease the dishes with little butter.

Cook the carrots with their skins on in salted boiling water until just soft. Drain the water into another saucepan and cook the rice in it.
When the carrots are cold, peel the skin off and mash them with a masher. Add all other ingredients into the mash and put the mixture into the foil dishes. Put some breadcrumbs on top and a few bits of butter. Bake in pre-heated oven (175 C) about an hour.

Delicious hot or cold. Can be reheated or frozen.
