what do you make with carrots?Page 2 of 2    (1, 2)
Little orange rockets: Select a nice size danver's half long carrot
drill a hole in the large end, insert Estes rocket engine, sharpen with vegetable Peeler, and send er on her way.
Lot safer than rocket powered hunting arrow, the only thing sticking out of the ground were the feathers, that woulda left a mark.

How much time do you have?
Sauteed in brown sugar and butter
Boiled in a garlic infused butter
Boil, puree, strain and make soup
Julienne and add to jelly
Slice thin, par boil, ligthly salt and slowly bake(chips)
Add to Salsa
Add to Hot sauce
Peel and put through a curling machine and add to salad
In the northern states it is a minor ingredient in clam chowder
This is off the top of my head

Butter and brown sugar after cooking in a saute pan. Yum! "Glazed carrots." Great as a side.

I rarely cook carrots to serve on their own. I do eat a raw one periodically, They are one of the base ingredients when starting any soup. stew or any dish needing flavour. Dice them small and add celery and onions to a hot skillet with butter, when nearly done add garlic turning the heat off. Cut up the other ingredients to your dish amd proceed from there.

They work in a stur-fry, in any soup or stew, in carrot cake, in fried rice, left-over carrot can be added o any dish,

I really prefer my carrots raw. I am not a fan of the orange veg as they tend to be sweet. I use them in stews though, and carrot cakes. I love cheese and carrot sticks as a snack- a perfect partnership. My kid loved shredded lettuce, grated cheese and grated carrot wraps for school lunches. As for them giving you an orange glow- maybe the young girls I see have just been over indulging in carrots rather than the bad spray tans I had originally suspected?


ETA I saw a guy on you tube make a perfectly pitched flute out of a carrot once!!! It was amazing.....

I've just e-mailed my mom for her "Zesty Carrots" recipe. I'm not a big fan of cooked carrots but THIS stuff is amazing............

I know it has horseradish and breadcrumbs in it.........and, I think, sour cream.

It's DELICIOUS!! :)

EDIT:
Mom is, apparently, on her computer! I've already heard back and here it is..............

6 - 8 COOKED carrots, cut lengthwise and halved (or more)

Mix together:
1/4 c. cooked carrot water
2 T. grated onion
2 T. prepared horseradish
1/2 c. mayo (I thought it was sour cream....guess not!)
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper

In a seperate bowl "fork" together to make a crumbly topping:
1/4 c. breadcrumbs
1 T. butter

In a shallow baking dish:
Lay out the cooked carrots
Pour the "mix" over them
Top with the crumblies
Bake for 15-20 minutes

Fight over who gets more goop (I think that may be the best part!) :)

My great aunt made a Carrot Casserole that was exactly like Green Bean Casserole with the cream of mushroom soup and Durkee onions on top......she just substituted julienned carrots for the green beans.
Wasn't my favorite for some reason.....but it's another way to use them!!

My girlfriend makes these Carrot Fritters as an appetizer all the time
so I called and got her recipe.

Mix:
4 shredded large carrots
1 minced onion
1 cup chopped green onion
1 cup flour
S & P
beat 2 eggs and mix into carrot mixture.

Shape into a 3 inch patty and fry each side about 3 minutes.
Serve with ranch dressing to dip in.
