I've got a million carrots

[DotDotDotDot]

Maybe not a million, but a lot. I thought I'd ordered 6 individual carrots but I actually ordered 6 bags.

Has anyone got any recipes to use up these carrots please?

Carrot and coriander soup
Coleslaw

Chop and freeze into portions lay out on tray freeze then add to ziplock bag once frozen

I love grated carrot in salad so I'd grate loads, squeeze over lemon juice and put in a tub in the fridge to use for salads and sandwiches

Thank you everyone. Some great ideas there that I'll try.

Also, I hadn't considered freezing them!

Do you have a very sweet tooth? Indian sweets called Carrot Halwa - one is rice pudding consistency but the fudge type is more popular and lasts for ever [given that it’s 50:50 carrot / sugar]

carrot cake!

carrot and lentil spiced soup with ginger

carrot slaw with mustard seeds and lemon

Roast carrots with sunday dinner. You always need more of them than you think as they shrink.

Send them to me! I am 39weeks preg and cannot get enough of raw carrots at the moment….it’s become a bit of an obsession!

I would cut them up and freeze

But I also like shredding carrots doing them with bbq sauce. Great in a burger

This Moroccan spiced carrot dip even better you can dip carrots into it!

We got through a lot of carrots in lock down, they last longer than most veg!

Carrot and courgette muffins - think it is a Sainsbury's recipe. Freezes well, tastes nice - good with soup for lunch.

Also just grate them into things - eg bolognese or chilli. Extra vitamins and no one will notice. I do this with courgette too.

Grate with potato and add cumin and fry

You could try pickling some for something different too. It's really quick and easy, I've done a couple of different ways, last time I think was a Nigella recipe and I've done it with both ribbons and grated carrot. I tend to have some when I have salads but I also just eat it straight out the jar too.

Carrot falafel - grate carrots and squeeze as much water as possible out of them, then bung them in the food processor with a tin of chickpeas or cannelloni beans, cumin, chilli, coriander, s and p, maybe some jalapeños if you like spice.

Roll into balls and bake - you can cook them and freeze a bunch too, or make the mix into burgers.

This easy pickled veg recipe is so delicious. I’ve tried cauliflower, radish and carrot. Carrot is my favourite with coriander seeds. Even the coriander seeds are delicious. So good with curry, in sandwiches, straight out of the jar. They last around a week or two in the fridge. And super quick to make. The other pickle recipe here looks so good too.

I love this thread.

Last time we had too many carrots I found this recipe for carrot fries so now we have them a lot but I’m itching to try some of the other recipes on this thread.

I would put my 6 to one side then grate the rest. If you freeze it in big thin slabs (around half inch thick) you can easily break off why you need for all sorts. I’ve found it freezes well enough to use for carrot salad/coleslaw not just soups and other cooked stuff.
Would love to have seen your face as the 6 bags disclosed themselves

Carrot and Orange soup.

This soup is nice and doesn't taste carroty.

I miss out the celery and use more carrots and less potato

Ha ha, you’ve had enough inspiration here, so that’s good. But you reminded of the time my BFF, at the very beginning of online shopping years ago, ordered not the 7 bananas she wanted for a week of packed lunches, but 7 kilos of bananas……..

There's an, um, unusual recipe in the current Sainsbury's magazine for carrot hot dogs - i.e. a marinated roast carrot in a hot dog roll.

I'd love to know how that turns out....
