I have a two pound bag of baby carrots that I would like to use up. I'm going to roast some
chicken later this week, so I'll roast some of the carrots with the chicken. What else could I do
besides salads and crudite? Maybe a pureed soup? Thanks for any ideas.

Basic glazed carrots are good with many meals. Put 'em in a sauce pan with some butter, S&P, a
little water, and 1 or 2 TB of brown sugar or maple syrup. Simmer until they are done and the liquid
has reduced ti a glaze - you may need to add some water during cooking. 15 minutes or so.

With cold weather upon us, a nice hot vegetable soup would be a good excuse to use some of
those carrots.

I feed them to my small parrot (laughing). Sorry, couldn't resist. I hate carrots. But I have to buy
them because the bird loves them. They are a training treat.

Toss them in a stew (chicken, beef, or just vegetable stew). Chicken pot pie. Use them in stir fry;
they're small.

Using only a little butter, slowly saute' them, a bit of good sea salt and some Penzey's tarragon
added at the end. I could eat them by the pan-ful. blacksalt

Cook 'em all. Everytime I make a pot roast in the slow cooker pot, I always put way too less
carrots in.

Cook 'em till just tender to the bite. Drain & shake them dry with a couple of tablespoons of butter
and a couple of tablespoons (or to taste) of Amaretto. MUCH greater than the sum of its parts.

Don't puree them, even tho' that would be ok... I'd suggest a pot roast! With spuds and
scallions. :-)

They are also good as a snack food raw or lightly steamed, with ranch dressing!!!

Everything goes better with ranch. <G>

What kind of parrot do you have?

I have a nanday, a cockatoo and a 'tiel. I give them lots of fresh fruit and greens, but have never
tried carrot! Think they might like them?

The 'toos favorite treat is fresh corn on the cob, and I recently introduced everyone to
Pomegranites, much to their delight. ;-)

Oh yum! Thanks! I was not the OP, but my dad has recently requested more carrots in his diet due to
health reasons. I usually just steam them and treat them with a little butter, and salt to taste.

I was wondering if I could make them more interesting, and I always have lots of fresh ginger on
hand as I use it in stir fry.

I checked the recipe on page 162 of The Silver Palate Cookbook. It calls for carrots, butter, brown
sugar, fresh ginger and caraway seeds. This is funny because I THOUGHT I was making that recipe and
knew I was using far less brown sugar. I didn't realize I was also leaving out the caraway seeds.

Adjust recipes to taste. ;-) I'm not overly fond of Caraway seed.

Now sesame seed, that's a different story!

It's also fun to play with recipes and sunflower seeds.....

If you have a juicer, juice them.
