Roasted Carrots with Ginger-Orange Glaze


Serves 8





Inspect your bag of baby carrots carefully for pockets of water. Carrots taken from the top of the supermarket鈥檚 carrot pile are often waterlogged. This not only makes carrots mealy, it also dashes any hopes of caramelization in the oven.





2 pounds baby carrots (two 16-ounce bags)


2 tablespoons olive oil


1/2 teaspoon table salt


1 tablespoon orange marmalade


1 tablespoon water


1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger





1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Toss carrots, oil, and salt in broiler-pan bottom. Spread into single layer and roast 10 minutes.





2. After carrots have roasted 10 minutes, while carrots continue to roast, bring 1 heaping tablespoon orange marmalade, 1 tablespoon water, and 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger to simmer in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Drizzle mixture over carrots; shake pan to coat, and continue roasting about 8 minutes longer, shaking pan twice more, until carrots are browned and tender.

MINI GREEK SPINACH PIES (SPANAKOPITAS)





FILLING:


1 (10-oz) package fresh spinach, coarsely chopped


1/3 cup (about 1 1/2 oz) feta cheese, crumbled


1/4 cup 1% low-fat cottage cheese


2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese


2 teaspoons olive oil


1陆 cups chopped green onions


1陆 Tbsp chopped fresh or 1陆 tsp dried dill


1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice


1/4 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon black pepper


2 large egg whites, lightly beaten





REMAINING INGREDIENTS:


1 tablespoon olive oil


1/4 teaspoon salt


1 large egg white


5 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed





Preheat oven to 350掳.


To prepare filling, place spinach in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Place over medium heat; cook until spinach wilts. Place the spinach mixture in a colander, pressing until barely moist. Combine the spinach and cheeses in a bowl; set aside.


Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green onions; saut茅 for 2 minutes or until soft. Stir the green onions and the next 5 ingredients (green onions through 2 egg whites) into spinach mixture.


Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 egg white in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Working with 1 phyllo sheet at a time, cut each sheet lengthwise into 4 (3 1/2-inch-wide) strips; lightly brush phyllo sheet with egg mixture (cover the remaining phyllo dough to keep it from drying). Spoon about 1 tablespoon spinach mixture onto one end of each strip. Fold one corner of the opposite end over mixture, forming a triangle; keep folding back and forth into a triangle to the end of strip.


Place triangles, seam sides down, on a baking sheet. Bake at 350掳 for 20 minutes or until golden.





Yield: 20 appetizers (serving size: 1 triangle)

Minestrone:


Sautee some onion and garlic with your carrots, add a can of chopped tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth and all of your other ingredients except lettuce. (Chop the greens first.) Add some tiny macaroni or other small pasta if you like. Sprink with Parmesan (preferably the real deal: Parmagiano Reggiano).
with the vegetables ==%26gt; steam.





Chop up the herbs and mix with rice maybe with a flavouring of some sort.





So you serve the vegetables on a bed of rice {that has some kind of flavouring} Or you can drizzle some olive oil over the top in a circular motion.
you can make a really nice soup with those ingredients or maybe stir all the ingredients in a garlic and red wine sauce with a steak





some more ideas are vegetable rolls, patties, burgers, pasties, vegetable pies..





all very delicious! and nutricious!





;)
boil it in a pot with beef or chicken base or maybe fried baby spinach with scrambled eggs and if you have roast, potaoes, bacon and green beans boil the potatoes, greenbeans,bacon and carrots in one pot and slowcook the roast in the oven
Saute the veggies with an onion or leek in olive oil or butter (hold the lettuce), add some stock and some pasta, finish with either of the herbs and you've got a hearty and nutritious soup.
Stir fry the lot except for the basil and lettuce.


Vegetarian spring rolls except for the basil, lettuce and rocket
