Another recipe whose original source is lost in the mists of time
(2018) Carrot Ribbon Salad
Carrots
(2018) Sesame Noodles with Summer (or in our case, Fall) Vegetables
There are several other soup recipes there, and a few ideas for pickling and more ways to roast carrots. But I think I’m going to try this ancient recipe from Bon Appetit. All I need to add to what came in the box is a bunch of cilantro and a few green onions. You could add some protein, too..
(2017) Carrot Tagine with Yogurt
Can’t wait to try this recipe from “New Feast” by Lucy and Greg Malouf.
(2017) Sweet and Tart Vegetable Stew
No idea where this came from – but I love the combination of sweet, spicy and tart. And like most stews, it’s better on the second and third days.
(2017) Root Vegetable Soup
I’ve been using my turnips in soups this month. Try this one from Prevention magazine. Put in as many turnips and carrots as you like.
(2017) Quick Pickled Vegetables
From alexandracooks.com. She suggests using these as a pizza topping. You can try it with the peppers and even the green tomatoes from today’s box.
Spicy Sauerkraut
One more idea for fermented vegetables. This is adapted from a recipe in Saveur magazine. It’s sort of like a mild kimchi – a nice compromise. The sterilized container part is important. You don’t want any funky bacteria messing up your sauerkraut.
Kimchi
Kimchi is traditionally made with Napa cabbage, and is a great way to use daikon radishes. If you only have “regular” cabbage – just substitute it for the Napa in the recipe.
The Korean chili powder is pretty essential. You can find it at the Buford Highway Farmers Market, but also at grocers that specialize in Korean foods.
The recipe comes from “Tart and Sweet” by Kelly Geary and Jessie Knadler. Add some sliced mustard greens if you like, that’s also a traditional addition.
Carrot Top & Quinoa Soup
A gorgeous bunch of carrots is such a gift!
Now – don’t waste those greens. This soup is delicious and the greens are a great addition. You can use the remaining greens to make pesto, which would be nice as a garnish for this soup.
Sorghum-Glazed Carrots
In some years we’ve received small jars of sorghum in our boxes. This recipe works with sorghum, or honey, or agave, or maple syrup, or any other sweetener you prefer. Are you buying the gorgeous fresh ginger now available at every local farmers market? If not, what are you waiting for? this recipe was in Bon Appetit ages ago.
