I'm always on the lookout for unusual recipes that are easy to make, and this is certainly one of those! A cooking teacher in the trade school I attended introduced me to Zesty Carrots. If you're a gardener, this would be a good way to use up a bumper crop of carrots! They're so tasty they might even make carrot lovers out of people who aren't fans of them now. Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds carrots, washed and peeled |
2 tablespoons grated onion and juice |
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
topping: |
1 cup soft bread crumbs |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1 teaspoon paprika |
Directions:
1. Slice carrots 1/4 in. thick; cook in small amount of water for 5 minutes. Drain; reserve 1/4 cup cooking water for sauce.
2. In a bowl, combine the onion and juice, horseradish, mayonnaise, cheese, salt, pepper and reserved cooking water. Add carrots. Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish.
3. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over carrot mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 minutes. Yield: 8 servings.
