Vegetable of the Month

CARROTS

Carrot, apple & ginger juice

You will need 8 peeled carrots, 2 peeled and cored eating apples and a fleshy slice of root ginger

Simply juice the ingredients in a blender for a refreshing and healthy drink. Carrots need to form the majority of the juice so the flavor of the apples don't dominate - and remember, the ginger provides a nice touch of spice but use it sparingly to your own particular taste.

Carrot & Yogurt Spicy Dip

You will need ½ dozen peeled carrots, a 6oz pot of plain yogurt, a ripe avocado, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and a couple of drops of pepper sauce

Mix the carrots and avocado with the lemon juice and pepper sauce to a smooth paste in a blender. Then combine this in a bowl with the yogurt. Serve it immediately with chunky strips of carrot, celery and your other favorite vegetables.

Honey Carrots

You willl need a good bunch of carrots, peeled and sliced, ¼ cup of honey, ¼ cup of melted margarine and a ¼ cup brown sugar

Boil the carrots for 5 - 10 minutes until crisp-tender, then drain and reserve ¼ cup of the carrot liquid. Combine this with the honey, margarine and brown sugar, stir well and pour over the carrots. Then gently cook over a low heat until ready to serve with your favorite meals.
