Carrots! (A challenge)

[RhubarbWhine]

I have 10 kilo of carrots - obviously will need to make some items that can be frozen

Apart from carrot cake, which only uses a few - I'd love  some thermi suggestions for recipes or ideas that will help use up my amazing amount of carrots - can you help?
Go!

Carrot soup, lots of thermomix recipes for this.

Carrot cake - my favourite is this one.

Carrot Halwa from the Indian cookbook - I wasn't that keen on it as is although others like it - I did turn it into a carrot slice though and that was great.  You could make the mixture and freeze until needed.  I haven't got my Indian book at the moment, it has never come back from DD's place otherwise I would give you the recipe.

Carrot & Orange juice from the EDC - I use 2 carrots, 3 oranges, 1-3 tspns sugar, 200g water & a tray of ice.

Chookie's Carrot & Lemon Marmalade

I remember having this problem, RW   

Can second all of the above and it was also suggested that I make sofrito to freeze . . .Good luck!!

Thanks to Amy :-) for those links- ta!

judydawn - carrot and lemon marmalade sounds awesome! I don;t yet have any thermi books other than those I got with delivery. Do you recommend them?  The Indian one sounds as if it could be very useful to a big foodie like me?

Great idea about a sofrito, too, goldfish - thanks

RW.. I really like the Indian TMX book as do many others on the forum .

Also excellent are
For foods sake by Tenina Holder
Quick Fix in the Thermomix by Alyce Alexandra

I'm on my phone's tappatalk ATM so can't add the links but if you google them you can find the relevant sites.

Fried rice too.

I freeze carrots, no worries.

I love Vietnamese pickled carrots. Very delicious in salads, rolls for lunch etc. You basically grate the carrots and soak in a solution of vinegar, sugar and water. Luke Nguyen"s recipe from the Secrets of the Red Lantern cookbook. I can't find my oopy at present but could source the recipe if anyone"s interested.

Hi Mep - if you can't put your hands on the book I have it here . . . glad to help if needed . .

[MEP]

Thanks GF. We have just moved houses so lots still in boxes. I really love the pickled veggies and banana cake recipes in the book.  Have you tried these?

[goldfish]

Not yet . . . it's a gorgeous book.  The recipes notwithstanding, the story of his family fleeing Vietnam and coming to Australia for me was incredible.  I'll pm you the carrots if you like . ..

[MEP]

Just received your PM. Yes, agreed, the story was very moving.

Thanks
