I didn't use paprika, after browning the beef I braised the beef in ale and canned tomatoes. |

Thank you. I've been tending to it all day, from 7 AM. prepping... and all from meat in the freezer and veggies in the fridge. This is the time of year to use up saved ingredients, after the holidays start anew |

LOL I buy carrots in five pound bags ($4), I feed many to the deer and I happen to enjoy carrots raw, cooked, and pickled. I don't grow carrots, never had much luck unless I use pesticides which I won't. The large bags of carrots sold here are from Canada, they are jumbo sized but very sweet and tender.

For those watching their calories pickled carrots are very tasty. I mostly like carrot sticks dipped in dressing. the large bags of carrots sold here are from Canada |

I would think that if you buy Canuck carrots and they are grown organically, they would have part of the label saying so. My Mum a few weeks ago bought 5lbs. of carrots for $1.99CD. I've never had pickled carrots. |

Carrots only taste great if they're diced with celery and boiled with plenty of salt and chicken fat ![]() How limiting. I like carrots lots of ways: Raw Roasted or grilled Stir-fried Boiled/steamed (although it doesn't really do them justice). They're improved by frying ginger and garlic in a little butter and dressing the cooked carrots with the flavored butter. Pretty much anything that doesn't involve added sugar. No glazes. And, of course, there is an infinitude of flavorings that you can add. Indian (curry) spice mixtures; various herbs alone or in combination, etc. Cindy Hamilton |

Heat several inches salted water to boiling. Add onions. Cover and heat to boiling. Cook until tender, 15 to 30 minutes. Heat butter over low heat until melted. Blend in flour, salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in half and half. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in carrots, and cook 5 minutes longer. Pour sauce over hot onions. 4 to 6 servings (so says the recipe. I think it serves way more, and think of it more like a condiment on a TDay plate.) |

Carrots are one of my favorite veggies, I especially like them slivered into long curls with the peeler into tossed salad. I like raw carrots, I think they are a much over looked vegetable.... I wouldn't think of soups-stews without carrots. Chicken stock ain't stock without carrots. When I make stock carrots, celery, onions, parsley and other veggies are cook's treat.. Most strain stock and toss all the veggies and meaty bones, not me, I slurp every speck. |

They are okay in small doses in soups and braised dishes. They can be good stir fried... in small doses. For some reason, I think they taste better boiled if cut lengthwise rather than sliced into rounds. A couple raw baby carrots or small carrot sticks are okay. I'll eat them, but they are far from my favourite vegetable. > |

For best results, simmer a stock for 24 hours. I use a crockpot to make it easier. Don't have to watch over it. I know you "can't imagine that" but if you try it, you'll definitely notice the much richer flavor. |

Start with steaming them until mostly done then remove, add to pan with butter and a bit of honey and we sometimes like a pinch of chinese 5 spice. |

I do that but I toss the carrots out (and the onions and other veggies that enriched the stock). |
