Carrots

[Fluffypinkbutterfly]

Hi

I’ve got lots of carrots to use up. What are some easy and tasty meals that I can make that incorporate carrots?

Thanks

I half the amount of mince I put in a spag bol or chilli and replace with grated carrot. I cook it on a low heat for an hour or so and it’s lovely.

Lentil soup?

yes to bulking out sauces.
I also chop some in the food processor and freeze in portions to bulk up whatever is cooking.

Oh and carrot cake. Fuck the spag bol and soups. Just make a load of cake!

Jack Monroe has good carrot recipes, I’d recommend carrot, cumin & kidney bean burgers and the carrot & chickpeas falafels.

Carrot and potato rosti is lovely - i quite often make this on a Monday evening and we have it for dinner with leftovers from the weekend's roast or with gammon steaks

My grandmother used to make the most incredible carrot jam.

Thai carrot soup - carrots (and any other root veg) onion, stock, coconut milk and thai curry paste. Tastes delicious and I hate carrots! Also second carrot 🍰

Blanche and freeze them. Price of carrots is due to increase due to weather issues which have affected the crop.

I add extra carrots to this - not the prettiest dish but it tastes great

They are nice grated with raisins, poppy seeds and lemon juice served as a salad with curry.

Grated with toasted sesame oil/lemon juice dressing toasted pine nuts or almonds and sultanas - mildly addictive if you like ingredients.
