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!

I usually just eat them raw. 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

Slice them thin, diagnolly. Saute them in oil with other vegetables.

Add to grains.

Enjoy.

I always get a lot of carrots in my vegetable subscription too. 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.

I like the juice. Carrot juice is very soft and creamy and sweet. But
I would like to have some other possibilitiets.

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, I'll be sure to try that! Thank you, and the others.

No, you use the sweetness of the carrots to counteract the bitterness of the
tomato seeds if you leave them in the sauce. Of course, using a food mill to
remove the tomato seeds will obviate the need for carrots.

Ah, of course. 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.
