Carrots
Come on people, help me out here! I've got carrots in my vegetable
subscription this week. I'm not too fond of carrots - too sweet for my taste. Usually I, er, juice them in my, er, juicing machine (what's the word?) but does anyone have recipes? Recipes! Recipes! T. |

You can dice them up and put them in soups or stews. There are also some nice recipes for Carrot soup. I think I've tried this recipe or one very similar http://www.coopfoodstore.com/html/re...arrotSoup.html -nancy- |

Add to grains. Enjoy.

They tend to pile up in my refrigerator until I get around to using them. I use them for a few things: grating them onto salads, eat them raw with hummus on weekend road trips, use them in soups and stews, use them to sweeten tomato sauce. Oh, another thing I learned from somebody who lived in South America for a long time: shave carrots into thin strips and dress them in lemon juice, salt to taste. Eat them with your fingers. |

But I would like to have some other possibilitiets. > I use them for a few things: grating them onto salads, eat them raw > with hummus on weekend road trips, use them in soups and stews, use > them to sweeten tomato sauce. It's the sweetness I don't like :-) In juice it's okay, but that's partly because one can down juice so quickly :-) > Oh, another thing I learned from > somebody who lived in South America for a long time: shave carrots > into thin strips and dress them in lemon juice, salt to taste. Eat > them with your fingers. Oh, I'll be sure to try that! Thank you, and the others. T. |

Of course, using a food mill to remove the tomato seeds will obviate the need for carrots. |

But if I make tomato sauce, which is rare (I prefer tomato's raw) I carefully remove the skins and the seeds because I hate tomato sauce with skins and seeds :-) I'll be sure to try the lemon juice thingy, though.
