Carrot VELLUTATA

Let's talk about another type of VELLUTATA (you can see CABBAGE one here). I can't translate this word, but I want to explain you the meaning: VELLUTO in Italian is like VELVET in english: So this dish is like Velvet in your mouth, delicate, soft and creamy just like Velvet! You can make it with every vegetable you like: Carrots, Cabbage, Potatoes and so on and you can change quantities of spices to have a more spicy or more delicate dish. Let's see how to prepare a cabbage (and potatoes) VELLUTATA.
