Ahoy folks! I thought I'd start a thread where you can ask for recipes and advice on how to use up an ingredient (e.g. a vegetable, fruit, grain, bean, etc.) of which you have lots and lots and lots; or which is new to you and you don't know where to start with it.
I'll go first. :P I have many, many tasty carrots from the farmers' market which I need to use before they go soft.
Recipes, please.
I know, I know, carrots - simple - should be a no-brainer... but I was not fond of them for a long time, simply because I'd never known anything but raw or steamed carrots with very little flavour. I like to do INTERESTING things with them. They're so adaptable! Gimme your adaptations! :D
freak! How have you never heard of elderberries?
Yes, come visit - doesn't matter if it's summer or not, just come here! although it really is our turn to come to yours......
By the time N's parents have gone back home your Wellington summer will be OVER! But next time I see cheap flights I'll get them anyway. We'd drive down again but with my bro's wedding, then our long weekend in Sydney I don't want to take any leave days for at least a while if I can help it.
And I don't actually like berries, which is quite possibly how the existence of one called the elderberry had escaped my knowledge! : )
Wait, so when are you in Sydney and will you have time to come up and visit me? :) I'm in the Newcastle area, which is 2 hours and $34 by train, so you probably won't have time. But I can dream. :)
Orange pulp.
jam or relish
(is it too bitter for cookies?)
I have a produce bin consisting of: baby carrots, broccoli, kale, and questionably aged red cabbage. I also have every canned bean you can think of, plus dry lentils and quinoa. I wanted to make soup but idk. What would you guys make with these?

Stir fry.
i would cook the quinoa first and let it cool then make some asian inspired stirfry with the veggies and add in the quinoa... kinda like this but asian style: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=33941.0 like a quinoa stirfry :)
AC beat me to the punch! stirfry is always the answer :)
Baby carrots and questionable cabbage: Kimchi. Duh. :)>>>
I did stirfry!
Yg- I've never had kimchi but I hate pickled things :-X

Hmmmm....are you one of those miscreants who doesn't like hummus? 8-)
:p yes
SoG, I might have to remove you from my "love" list on vw. No pickled things? No hummus? How am I to trust such a person?
Hahaha.. it's okay, I hate hummus too. ;)
Scandalous........
vegan's who don't like hummus = social outcasts LOL

whoa, how did I miss this??
haha, we've only got a couple of days, main reason for the trip is we're going to the Soundwave festival on Sunday, but we've got all day Friday, Saturday and most of Monday for touristing/sight-seeing etc. We're staying kinda north/west of Sydney and will be getting a multi-3 travel pass to get around with which I see includes up to Newcastle... sooooo we might be a bit strapped for time, but I'll totally think about it and see whether we could!! : )
Wow! Hummus and pickled food? :o
i also dislike......brace yourselves........... DAIYA
sb, there's a love list? aw
