Answer 1

Copper Pennies Salad

This salad gets its name from the coin-like appearance of the sliced, marinated carrots.

2 pounds carrots, sliced crosswise and cooked until crisp-tender
1 small green pepper, sliced into rings
1 small onion, sliced and separated into rings
1 (10-ounce) can condensed tomato soup
1/2 cup vegetable or olive oil
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
Combine carrots, green pepper, and onion in a large bowl.
In a medium bowl, combine soup, oil, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard.

Pour soup mixture over vegetables; toss well to coat. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight, stirring several times.
Makes 8 servings.

Answer 2

Glazed Carrots - Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2005

1 pound carrots, approximately 7 medium, peeled and cut on the bias 1/4-inch thick
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
Heavy pinch kosher salt
1 cup good-quality ginger ale
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves

In a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat, combine the carrots, butter, salt and ginger ale.

Cover and bring to a simmer.

Once simmering, remove the lid, stir, and reduce the heat to low. Cover again and cook for 5 minutes.

Remove the lid, add the chili powder and increase the heat to high.

Cook, tossing occasionally, until the ginger ale is reduced to a glaze, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.

Pour into a serving dish and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve immediately.

Or carrot slaw: grated carrots, raisins, pineapple chunks, apples, and plain yogurt (enough to moisten salad), honey or brown sugar to taste.

My favorite is to cook about 1/2 lb with 1 cup of ginger ale and 1 tbs of butter. Cook until ginger ale is gone, then sprinkle with chili powder if you like.

I would Google "gajar Halwa", an indian sweet made from carrots. I mean I know kids shouldn't eat too much sweets, but it's really good and he'll like it!
