Notes
Alternatively, place in microwave safe dish and microwave for 1-2 minutes.
I did not have success using my blender for this, but depending on the type you have, it could be and option. If you do not have a blender, simply simmer until very soft and mash by hand (it will not be quite as smooth but still equally tasty and usable!).
