We had a bit of a carrot glut this week, not only did I have some old ones left over from previous weeks' veg bags and some lovely new ones in this week's but my mother-in-law has gone on holiday and emptied her fridge into ours including ... more carrots.
The mission was to use carrots and we did well out of it. Saturday night we had different salads including a carrot one. This was grated carrots with an olive oil vinaigrette and the addition of sunflower seeds and roasted cumin seeds. We had the oven on for the quiche to go with the salads so popped the cumin seeds in for a couple of minutes - if the oven wasn't on I'd have done them in a dry pan or under the grill.
I forgot to take a photo and as you can see there wasn't much left at the end!
The new carrots we roasted whole with a sprinkling of olive oil, some garlic cloves and more cumin seeds to go with our Sunday dinner roast shoulder of lamb.
Carrots are marvelous!!
