Carrot bonanza

In our organic veggie box this week we got another bunch of carrots. I'm not used to so many carrots. Carrots shall be my friend!

I spent some time looking for new ways for me to use carrots beyond just including them in a Mirepoix and I wanted them to be le spicey. Before I knew it, I had too many carrot recipes to pass up. I reprint them here for posterity and so I don't lose them. Y'know, apparently internet searchers love to find lists of things? It gives them great joy.

On to the untried and potentially false carrot recipes:

• Curried Carrot Soup (duh!)
• Seared jumbo scallops, spicy carrot fritters, yoghurt sauce
• Spicy Carrot Sauce (chipotle-flavored)
• Spicy Carrot Sambal
• Som Tam (Spicy Thai Carrot Salad)
• Som Tam #2 (for good measure)
• Hmong-style Spicy Carrot Salad
• Spicy Carrot Purée with Harissa
• Spicy Carrot Purée with Harissa #2 (adapted)
• Spicy Carrot Pickle (Indian)
• Spicy Carrot Chutney (Indian)
• Spicy Carrot Dip ("American")
• Broccoli and Tofu with Spicy Carrot Orange Sauce (Chinese-esque)
• Roasted Lamb Rump With Spicy Carrot Purée, Couscous & Pine Nut Ciabatta Sauce
• Sweet & Spicy Carrot Pudding
• Spicy Carrot Tahini (but where?!)

That last one, the Spicy Carrot Tahini, eluded me in recipe form, but intrigued me on the menus I saw it on.  One day, it shall be mine!

I shall try and bloggerate whichever recipe I choose for the utilization of carrottage. Gooooo beta carotene!
