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
Blinknoodle is the master of ingredient X!
Oh man, BN...if you knew how much I love tomato soup you would know how much I love you for pointing me to that recipe!!
This guy was just telling me about all the amazing health benefits of turmeric. I use it in curries, but any other things I can use it in?
Tofu scramble! Cooked cabbage, or sprinkle on any veggie for that matter.
This is my favourite way to serve cabbage:

Thanks blinknoodle! This is exactly the kind of recipe I was looking for- it sounds incredible! I will try it tomorrow for dinner. Thanks!

Happy to help! Let me know how it turns out. :)
A can of okra. I'm used to raw or frozen okra. I like fried okra but canned is like pre-cooked; curry maybe?
Okra hayters please abstain from commenting (this means you, SB.) :P
What? I love okra.
Make some bindhi masala!

Maybe a soup/stew/gumbo/jumbalaya?
4-5 kiwis. I know I should just eat them as they are but it's cold here and the tanginess of their raw form isn't appealing to me
Kiwis:
add to a smoothie (if it's too cold for smoothies, freeze them and use them in smoothies later)
add to fruit salad
make a fruit tart kind of thing (crust, creamy/custardy layer, arrange sliced fruit, some kind of glaze)
Yes to the tart!
Omg, tart! That's what ill make. Ac, you posted an amazing picture of one on fb, know a good recipe?

Yes, but I can't share!!!! That's why I didn't suggest the tart, because I didn't want to be a huge tease. It's a tester recipe, so I can't give it out. :\ It will be in the new pie book by Isa and Terry! ....which doesn't help you now.
oooh! I'm excited now! another Isa and Terry book to look for me to collect!
I'll look up tarts (:

Giggling madly here..."tarts" in Europe are often ladies of easy viritue...you can find some tarts in the small ads section of the paper.

Yeah!! It's the 3rd installment of the dessert trilogy, and it's all PIES. :D
Kiwi tart sounds delightful. Make sure you put some almond paste in that shit before you bake it.
Kiwi compote would be good, too.
