Carrots, apart from soup any ideas?

[CuriousMama]

I have a load of them, dp bought another big bag not realising we already had a lot. Any ideas on using them? We love vegetarian food. TIA

Cake, obviously

I love to roast carrots with lemon juice, olive oil and garlic.

This is a bit more elaborate

Happycamel got there first with what I was going to say. Precisely, word for word :)

Mash,
top of a veggie shepherds pie
Beef casserole

Got rabbits??

Carrot and swede mash. It freezes beautifully.

Fab ideas thanks. I just managed to use 4 of them in the beef stew for dinner. Forgot about cake!

Carrot cake's in t'oven. Stew was fab, made it more goulash-ish with paprika etc.. but with mash potato.

Timer's gone off so it's moment of truth!! I'll drizzle icing and juice over when it's cool.

Peel and cut them up and freeze. Then use them in cooking stews, soup, stocks, etc.

Thanks for freezing idea only thing is we don't have a freezer. I had 2 until I moved over here with dp. Now we manage with a fridge with ice compartment. The carrots have gone down only 1 bag now so they'll be soon used up. Might make a carrot and lentil bake? off to google

I really should never have made this Ds1 and dp have had a slice grudgingly and mum is supposed to be getting a piece taken over tonight. Or I could just make her one sometime?

curiousmama, that is my fav. cake recipe ever. . I too have a carrot surplus....oh dear oh dear, bang goes the diet!

I just can't believe how much I like it. I don't even have a sweet tooth?? Thank God the carrots are going down! Anyway, I've run out of soft brown sugar.

ha ha ha. Im tempted to try the parsnip cake on the same site. I hate parsnips, but theres comments that its BETTER than carrot cake. How you can improve on perfection, I do not know.

Parsnip cake?? Never heard of that? Update if you do try it, not sure I dare? Why didn't your grin work Hatti?

Do a nice couple of dips (a creamy one with creme fraiche and chives, guacamole, salsa, blue cheese dip etc, and use carrot sticks for dipping.

Grated raw with beetroot make a wonderful salad. Or grated with apple and a dash of lemon juice.

Thanks guys carrots almost gone. Cake gone

I made a parsnip and maple syrup cake (is that the one you were talking about HattiFattner?) for Mother's Day last year. It was delicious, but I think I still prefer carrot cake. Good choice

Think I'll try the parsnip one next as just bought some today. I have some maple syrup but not an awful lot left.
