What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- For Carrot Patties:
- 6 medium carrots
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter

- For Mushroom Sauce:
- 1.5 pounds white mushrooms
- 3/4 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup sour cream

Method
Step One
To prepare the carrot patties, first, peel and grate the carrots. Then, in a large bowl, mix the grated carrots, eggs, flour, fresh dill, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
Step Two
Melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Using your hands, form small patties from the carrot mixture and place them in the hot butter. Cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the pan and keep them warm.
Step Three
To prepare the mushroom sauce, clean and slice the mushrooms. Heat some butter in a skillet over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook until fragrant, then add the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5-6 minutes.
Step Four
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a simmer. Cook until the broth has reduced by half, approximately. Stir in the sour cream and fresh parsley, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5 more minutes.
