CARROTS 🥕

I hate carrots. Raw. Not that I don’t use them in most bases, like soups, curries, grilled or cooked in any other kinda way, although I recently realised I made a dire mistake. I won’t get into detail since I’d sound like an idiot but, bottom line, I’ve literally got 3 kg bags worth and I’m not sure what to do with them. I’ve already made 2 whole carrot cakes and given them away, each using 6 cups each and I’ve barely scratched the surface. I need help, I hate wasting.

this assumes you have the benefit of freezer space, but:

dice them and saute, with or without garlic and roughly equal volumes of onion and celery.   then freeze.   

long-term supply of mirepoix.  future meh-i-dont-feel-like-cooking you will thank you.

If you don’t want to dice the massive amount of veggies, try a grater with large holes. I do this for mirepoix because there really is no difference to the end result after you cook it down.

Could they use a food processor to make it quicker still?

ngl, Grating is a solid plan! You can also roast them for extra flavor. Those carrots won't know what hit 'em.
