14 MAY 2009

• Fill jacket potatoes or sandwiches with a mixture of grated carrot and Red Leicester cheese.
• Serve carrot sticks with favourite dips such as houmous or cheese and onion.
• Roast carrots with other root vegetables like potatoes, parsnips and swede.
• Add grated carrots to salad and toss with all the other ingredients.
• Grate carrots and add to stews, casseroles, pasta sauces and curries – they’ll disintegrate into the sauce so you can’t see them.
• If coleslaw is a hit, add extra grated carrot to your regular brand before serving.
• Add extra cooked carrots to canned or cartons of soup, then liquidise before serving.
• Mix mashed carrots with mashed potato, then use to top cottage pie or fish pie.
• Sweat diced carrot with onion when you make a tomato sauce for pasta
• Get the kids involved in making carrot cake – a delicious treat
