Back in November our local co-op food buying club had some bulk items for sale. I decided to take the plunge and go for the 25lb bag of organic carrots LOL. We do use a lot of carrots, the kids like them, I make lots of soups and I figured they would last for a while in the fridge. Now that it's January we actually only have some left and I have come up with a creative veggie side dish.
Ingredients:
3-4 Carrots
1 1/2 cups of frozen green beans
2 Tablespoons of Coconut Aminos
1-2 Tablespoons of grated or finely chopped ginger
2-3 cloves of minced garlic
2 Tablespoons of oil to cook in - I use avocado oil
salt to taste
First I cut everything up so its easy to concentrate on cooking - instead of trying to both at once lol. So I chop the garlic and ginger. Then I chop up the carrots at a diagonal because I think it looks pretty! Then I put the oil in the pan and turn the heat on to medium. When the oil is hot, I add the garlic and stir for a few minutes. This infuses the garlic into the oil and makes it so tasty, yum! After I have cooked the garlic for about two minutes and before it turns brown, I add the carrots in. I cook them, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly soft. Then I add the green beans, ginger and coconut aminos. I cook everything, while stirring occasionally, until the green beans are hot and no longer frozen. That's it!! then you can serve! They are so good as a veggie side and my son, Luke, loves them!
Let me know if you try these!
