There are so many different ways you can use carrots in your cooking...raw, cooked, boiled or roasted...here are 4 more quick ways to try
1. This tasty side dish goes with meat, fish or chicken. Grate (or thinly slice) carrot, ginger and cucumber. Mix together with bean sprouts and onion, then sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, vinegar and fish sauce.
2. Boost the health factor of meatballs, patties or rissoles by sneaking in some carrot. Simply add some grated carrot to mixture before cooking. This gives a slightly sweeter taste and a truckload of vitamins.
3. Roast carrot, sweet potato, red capsicum and pumpkin for a side dish. Cut into large pieces, lightly coat with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme. Roast for 30 minutes or until tender.
4. Make quick sushi: lay a nori (seaweed) sheet, shiny side down. Place a mixture of Japanese rice and rice vinegar ²∕³ along the way. Spread a line of wasabi (or avocado) in centre, top with carrot, cucumber, lettuce and fish, teriyaki beef or chicken. Roll and slice.
