This month we’re celebrating the almighty carrot. A nutritious, earthy, root vegetable, we love them puréed, roasted, braised, steamed and raw. They’re a great way to add vibrant colors and texture to your plate. Long known to offer a wide range of health benefits such as improving eye health and lowering cholesterol, carrots are a great source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, antioxidants and more.
From “Spicy Pickled Carrots with Hummus and Pita” at the Signature Cafe to “Curried Carrot Soup with Coconut Crème” at The Norm, enjoy our favorite carrot dishes at our restaurants across town or make them yourself using the mouthwatering recipe below, and be sure to visit the Katchkie Farm recipe archive for even more terrific ideas!
