Roasted Carrots

>> Thursday, August 5, 2010

This was a great way to showcase our rainbow carrots from this week's share! It was also a very simple recipe -

1. Peel and chop carrots. (we had to supplement using baby carrots because there wasn't enough with just the rainbow carrots, but they weren't nearly as flavorful.)


2. In a medium bowl, combine carrots, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.

3. Coat a small baking dish with olive oil (I used our olive oil spritzer, but you can also just pour a little into the dish and spread it around). Make a single layer of carrots in the baking dish.

4. I used the broiler setting on the oven since we were making the tofu as well, but you can also roast them in a high oven (approximately 400 or 450 degrees) for about 20-30 minutes. Toss them once while cooking.

Voila!


PS - K, thanks for the idea for these carrots, and for the green beans! You rock.

Mediterranean Salad

>> Friday, June 11, 2010

Tonight we used the mixed greens and carrot from our CSA to make a great salad! It also included almonds, feta cheese, kalamata olives, cucumber and red pepper.


The dressing was olive oil, pepper, and 12-year-aged balsamic vinegar from Fiore Artisan Olive Oils and Vinegars in Bar Harbor, ME. We stopped there on a trip last summer and sampled all of their oils and vinegars. Delicious!
