    I have searched for a thread. Found a muffin and cake recipe.

    Got a huge bag of carrots for 14p yesterday but need eating up fast.

    What else can I do with them? Going to have a carrot cooking day today.

    I don't have any pet rabbits:D

    make caarrot + ginger soup!

    saute in a bit of oil the peeled chopped carrots with 2 stalks chopped celery, 1 chopped onion, 1" piece chopped up ginger + a little salt + pepper until soft. Add water to cover + simmer for 40 minutes, then blitz until smooth. add more S+P to taste. Can also add some OJ in instead of some of the water.

    Does anyone remember that episode of The District Nurse with Nerys (sp?) Hughes where there was a family that only eat carrots, and they turned yellow? lol

    I peel them, chop them, boil them for 10 mins, portion them up and then stick them in the freezer for another day - don't take as long to cook then or you can just bung them straight from frozen into shepherds pie or whatever ;)

    Carrot juice is lovely - but you need a juicer, obviously.

    When I have a glut, I use them up by pureeing them and add them to anything with tomatoes in (soup, pasta sauce, curry)
