Any suggestions on a different or unique way to cook carrots. They are pretty decent size.?

Question

My husband is very picky and I trying to find something different that he might like. Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Try these!!

MARINATED CARROTS

3 lbs. carrots, cleaned and cut
1 green pepper, cut in squares, not too small
1 onion, cut in squares, not too small
3/4 cup vinegar
1 can tomato soup
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard

Cook clean and sliced carrots (you can use small carrots, but still cut in half) and cook in microwave until "almost done" -crunchy, not mushy. About 5-7 minutes.
In saucepan, bring to boil, Tomato Soup Vinegar Vegetable Oil Worcestershire Sauce dry mustard

Once cooked through, cool and add carrots to tomato sauce mix. It is a marinade, so it tastes best after 2 or 3 days in the fridge. Serve Cold.

This is a great recipe for people who like marinated carrots, but do not like it too sweet. The longer you marinate, the better these carrots are.


APPLE - CARROT BAKE

6 apples
2 c. cooked, sliced carrots
1/3 c. brown sugar
2 tsp. flour
3/4 c. orange juice
Salt to taste

Peel, core and thinly slice apples and layer half in 2 quart greased, baking dish. Layer half the carrots.
Mix sugar, flour, salt and spread on half of vegetables. Repeat layers and pour juice evenly over top. Bake 4 minutes at 350 degrees. Perfect for ham or pork.

Answer 2

I would take them and cut them into 3 inch sections and toss in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, maybe a little fresh parsley, and any other spice your husband likes. Then put in 9 x13 pan add a few pats of butter and roast in the oven, un covered at 350 until tender - stirring occasionally (probalby take around 15-30 minutes depending on oven)

The roasting will bring out the natural sweetness of the carrot without adding more sugar.

you can also add potatoes or onions to jazz it up a bit - just prepare it the same way (although you may want to cut the potatoes more bit sized)

Plus you keep the nutrients in the vegetables by roasting them (boiling removes a lot of the great vitamins we eat veggies for!)

serve with anything from steak to chicken - it will be great!

Answer 3

Season with a dollop of orange marmalade in with the butter after they're cooked....also, shred them very coarsely and then steam them a little--flavour with a knob of butter and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Also, instead of making 'coins' of them, try cutting them lengthwise and then lengthwise again.. like little pencil-shapes. They cook faster, and can be seasoned as above for something different.

Answer 4

have you ever tried making a veggie pack to put on the grill?
you could do this with just carrots.
make a packet out of aluminum foil, add carrots, butter, garlic....any seasoning you like....even soy sauce or bbq sauce. just let it chill out on the grill until the carrots are tender, or cooked to whatever doneness you prefer.

Answer 5

Shred them and mix with sliced onion and dill weed and some salt. Put in a caserole, dot with butter, cover and bake. I really like the flavor of dill but you could probably use any herb you like.
