Carrot Recipes

	Broad Beans Quinoa This is a delicious recipe for both broad beans and quinoa. It takes less than 15 minutes to make and works well as a delicious lunch or a summer party dish.
	Sprouting Broccoli Stir Fry This is a great way of using in-season sprouting broccoli and end-of-season, stored carrots. My favourite way of eating this is with Thai-style bean curd, but firm tofu or Halloumi cheese both work well, too. It’s a really quick meal – just 10 minutes – yet is filling and tasty.
	Thai Style Squash Curry This curry is easy to make and pretty quick. Just make the paste, chop the veggies and cook it all in a wok (or large frying pan) with the coconut milk. Works well with pumpkin, too.
	Mini Carrot Cakes This carrot cake recipe takes just ½ an hour from start to eating and they're really easy to make. Kids love them and the grown-ups don't take much persuading either! So if you've got some carrots to use up, it's time to get baking. Top tip: These are great for Hallowe'en or a bonfire night party!
	Maple Glazed Carrots Rather than just boiling your carrots, why not roast them with an orange and maple syrup glaze? Great for winter carrots that need a bit of extra sweetness.
	Root Vegetable 'Crumble' with Cheesy Topping This is a delicious recipe for baby or Chantenay carrots and other roots veggies. The secret ingredient gives it a warming kick. Make the most of your turnips, swedes, parsnips and sweet potatoes. You can also use celeriac or kohlrabi.

	Cream Of Asparagus Soup Cream of asparagus soup is a great way to use up any woody ends of asparagus spears or any late season asparagus that's a bit too tough to use in side dishes or salads. It works well with green or white asparagus, so use whatever you can get hold of.
	Melanzane Parmigiano Parmesan-baked aubergine. Simply delicious. If you're one of the many who's not convinced by the humble aubergine, I suggest you give this one a go.
	Beetroot Hummus Beetroot is one of those vegetables that seems to quickly build into gluts. There's only so much you can pickle or bake, before you start to get bored. So here's a quick and nutritious recipe to use up cooked beetroot and add a new twist to a traditional dish. Hummus is a staple of Middle Eastern cookery. Its blend of chick peas and sesame seeds are a valuable source of calcium, protein, vegetable fats, iron and B vitamins. The addition of beetroot increases the vitamin C content and adds magnesium. All of which combines to make this pretty much a super-food. The pretty pink colour makes it fun for kids, so you might even be able to persuade little ones to eat this on toast or with fresh veg sticks! You can either make this from scratch, with dried chick peas and fresh beetroot or you can whiz it up in 5 minutes using pre-cooked beetroot and a can of chick peas / frozen chick peas.
	Broad Bean Risotto This recipe is easy to do, and takes about ½ hour. Though you have to be patient if you're skinning the individual beans.
	Broad Bean Couscous This couscous is delicious and packed with protein and superfoods. A great way to boost your immune system!
	Broad Beans Quinoa This is a delicious recipe for both broad beans and quinoa. It takes less than 15 minutes to make and works well as a delicious lunch or a summer party dish.
