Please help me use up Ingredient X.

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!

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.

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

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, 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.

Kiwi tart sounds delightful. Make sure you put some almond paste in that shit before you bake it.

Kiwi compote would be good, too.
