Its an after christmas dinner for 60 people, we just got too many carrots in!

[boxtops]

Wow, well done - my friend cooked a meal for 60 before Christmas, it's an ambitious task!

You can get away without blanching if they are used fairly quickly and not stored long term

Alternatively cook them first then freeze.

We will freeze them to put into next months bubble and squeak for 60 people!

If you cook with a little fried onion, ham stock and puree in batches you can have carrot soup whenever you want. Sainsbury do frozen coriander as well, in small cubes.
