baby purple carrots, raw

February 18, 2014 • Nancy Wolfson-Moche

It’s true that I ate carrots for breakfast yesterday, and that I’m all for variety, but these baby purple carrots and tops are different from yesterdays’ steamed with orange and ginger. Just look at their cores.  IMG_2643

3 baby purple carrots with tops

Process  

This is a simple way to offer raw carrots dotted with their tops for balance. Cut tops off carrots; wash and dry them. Chop them into tiny pieces.

Scrape the outermost skin from each carrot to remove tiny hairs and rough spots.

Wash each carrot well.  Arrange carrots on a plate

and sprinkle chopped green tops all over.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

I’m very impressed by all the elements you are able to pack into the lesson without it seeming at all overwhelming: the review, the actual cooking skills, the creativity of coming up with their own dishes, the chance to present their creations, the opportunity to learn about and share thoughts on something else (in last week’s case, the feelings represented in the book), the execution of their  jobs, the responsibility for one’s station/implements and the overall following of directions…..all without losing the fun quotient. No wonder the kids love coming!  You’ve really created something special so kudos to you!
