Carrots are in season.
Here are 10 ways we’re eating and drinking them them:
1. Eat raw – washed, peeled, washed again and chomped on. Want some dipping sauces? Combine plain/ natural yogurt with curry powder and cilantro leaves, to taste
2. Grate and add to sandwich fillings, salads – cooked and raw, stir fries, rice dishes (including Jollof – yes, yes, I know), Pasta sauces etc
3. Make a smoothie. or Juice.
4. Saute. Oh, what a fine way to enjoy it.
5. Bake. Yes, Carrot cake. Even Carrot – Agbalumo cake.
6. Add to soups, even pepper soup
7. Make a medley with other vegetables
8. Cook a curry, like this Pumpkin Goat Meat one
9. Soup it. Stew it. A bit like 8, I know…I’m running out of ideas.
10. Add to Shakshuka, Bakes, etc
What do you do with your carrots? Please share, I’d love to do more.
I came across your website in search of tomato source in commercial quantity and quality fro the North and North Central as I am into food processing and packaging. I like your blog/site because it is nutritiously healthy…..I started grilling my fresh meats more out of taste for better flavours than health, although, it gives me a better assurance that it is healthier to cook by grilling than frying or boiling as it extracts the oils. I grill with honey, yaji, cinnamon, lemon, crayfish powder, and any other condiment but I always avoid using the cubed seasonings, since I use the primary ingredients contained in it…. I have just fallen in love with basil now, so I am adding that to seasoning list and also for stir fry. If you are making noodles/pasta/white rice please add some diced carrots, green peas, efirin (yes scent leaves) and basil as the last ingredients and savour the aroma 😉
Diced carrot, green beans and onions with indomie noddles just before you turn off the flame, feel the crunchy sensation………….my children luv it.
