It is hard to resist a 10 pound bag of carrots for $1.97 and then come up with lots of recipes to use them all. Carrot and turnip (rutabaga) or swede as it is called in England are mashed together for a favourite. Lots of carrots were blanched and frozen into portions that will go into stews and slow cooker recipes. I also made sweet potato and carrot soup.
Then I came across a new to me recipe called dilled carrots on The English Kitchen and decided to try it. I printed it out, made it, and decided it was a keeper and I’ve made it a few times since.
Peel and julienne cut 450 gm of carrots.
Melt butter in a pan and gently add the carrots, turning frequently to coat them. Add water.
Add 1 teaspoon of fresh dillweed and mix in.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of honey, or a bit more if you like things really sweet. Honey is something I rarely use so I go to Bulk Barn to buy just the amount needed. Mix in well.
Cook for about 10 minutes or until carrots are tender. A good portion of the water/stock will evaporate. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve.
Delicious.

I tried to get to your blog Amy, but got a message that said it was not safe and it shut me down. I’ll try again later.

I always love new vegetable recipes. This sounds delicious.

Dill probably isn’t the only herb you could add to carrots cooked this way! I have a similar recipe that uses ground coriander, but carrots are good with so many things. You were lucky to find your bargain bag
Linda aka Crafty Gardener
I agree Mae, and was checking the spices to see what else I could add.

I just bought some carrots to use in a soup I made last night, now I know what to do with the leftovers.
Linda aka Crafty Gardener
I love carrots in soup, on their own, or in a veggie soup. Thanks for stopping by today.

A perfectly delicious way to use those carrots. I’m trying once again to grow dill, but it’s difficult to get the conditions right. (for me anyway)

Love dill but haven’t tried it with carrots. Cheers
