Method

1
Boil the peeled, chopped carrots until semi-soft in salted water, so that the water just barely covers the carrots. Reserve the cooking water and cook the rice in it.
2
Meanwhile, puree the carrots. Add the cream, milk, egg, and spices to the puree. Once the rice is cooked, combine it with the other ingredients. Check the salt level.
3
Pour the mixture into a well-greased baking dish of approx. 2 liters in capacity. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.
4
Bake at 200 degrees (Celsius) for 45 minutes.
