Lime Carrots Recipes

Steps:

• In a 1-1/2-qt. microwave-safe bowl, combine carrots and water. Cover and cook on high for 5-6 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring once. , Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine lime juice, butter, honey, zest and ginger. Cover and microwave on high for 45 seconds. Drain carrots; stir in the lime mixture. Cover and cook on high for 45 seconds. Garnish with lime.

Steps:

• Pour cold tap water into a large pot fitted with a steamer basket to a depth of 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, add the carrots, cover and cook just until the carrots have lightened in color and are barely tender, about 4 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler with a rack set about 4 inches from the heat. In a large ovenproof skillet, melt the butter until frothy and add the shallot and lime zest. Sauté, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the shallot is translucent, but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add the carrots, maple syrup, lime juice and a pinch of salt and stir to coat. When the mixture begins to bubble, continue to simmer 6 to 8 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half and is syrupy.
• Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until the edges of the carrots have just begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Finish the dish with a sprinkling of salt and a few coarse grinds of black pepper.

Steps:

• In a pitcher, combine carrot juice, fresh lime juice, and super-fine sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour. When ready to serve, pour over tall glasses filled with ice and top each with 1 to 2 ounces seltzer. Garnish with 1 or 2 carrot tops, if desired.

Steps:

• Toss 1 1/2 pounds peeled carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a big pinch of salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast at 450˚ F until tender and browned, about 25 minutes. Whisk 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon each olive oil and lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon chili powder; season with salt. Drizzle over the carrots; sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco, roasted pepitas and cilantro.

Steps:

• Finely shred carrots and in a bowl toss together with remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. Serve salad garnished with cilantro.

Steps:

• Pour boiling water on gelatin in medium bowl; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in cold water and pineapple. Refrigerate about 45 minutes or until thickened but not set.
• Lightly brush six 1/2-cup salad molds with vegetable oil. Stir carrot into thickened gelatin; pour into molds. Refrigerate about 4 hours or until firm.
• To unmold salads, dip molds into hot water for 10 seconds. Place salad plate upside down onto each mold; turn plate and mold over, then remove mold. Top salads with mayonnaise.

Steps:

• In medium to large bowl mix Lime Jell-O per package directions. Go a little scant on the water due to moisture in Carrots and Grapes. Place in 9" by 13" cake pan or Glass casserole dish.
• Rinse,pare and shred Carrots. Rinse Seedless Grape (Red or White), then quarter. Add Carrots and Grapes to Jell-O and stir.
• Refrigerate until Jell-O sets. When it starts to get a little wobbly stir to bring ingredient from bottom. Allow to cool and set.
• To serve slice into squares. Add Cool Whip or a dab of Ice Cream if you wish.
• If you encounter any reluctance with the youngsters, press a single M & M to the center of the square and suggest with "Authority" that they eat their way to the center to retrieve. THIS PLOY WORKS -- SOMETIMES. If you use Orange Jell-O they may not even notice the Carrots.
• Note: If for toddlers omit the nuts and maybe chop the grapes finer. Peace!
• Hint: I've had times when the Jell-O just doesn't set up and firm. In this case I salvage by adding an additional box of Jell-O using 1/2 to 1/3 the recommended water. Using very hat water I disolve well and stir and completely incorporate into the failed batch. It works.
