  • Cook the potatoes and carrots for 25 minutes or until completely cooked.
  • Cook the fresh fava beans in salted water for 8-10 minutes.
  • Cut the herbs in 3 cm pieces and cook in 200 ml water (for about 10 minutes).
  • Drain the potatoes and carrots, and add the butter and seasoning. Mash until you have a creamy puree without big pieces of potatoes and carrots.
  • Blend the herbs, water and cream till a smooth sauce. Season with some salt & pepper and pour through a fine sieve.
