Hot Carrots Recipe
Hot Carrots Recipe - Haven't seen one on here so try this...
Here's a recipe I learned from an employee who worked at a local Mex. restaurant...
2.5 lbs carrots
2 - Garlic cloves
1 pkg - Chile Japones (Dried Japanese Chile Pods)
Kosher Salt
Vinegar
White Onion
1 sml. can of whole Jalapeno peppers in juice (e.g. EMBASA)
Oregano
Bay Leaves
Peel the carrots and slice into 1/8"-1/4" slices
Put carrots in pot and measure the water poured in to cover carrots (about 5-6 cups)
Add in about 1 cup vinegar per 5 cups water (20%).
Bring water to boil
Add 2 tsp salt
Add 2 crushed garlic cloves
Add couple Bay leaves
Add pinch of oregano
Toss in 8-10 Chile Japones
Boil carrots for 10-20 minutes depending on your preference for crunchiness
Turn off heat and let stand to cool.
After turning off heat, add the can of Jalapeno peppers
Slice from onion 1-2 slices of rings about 1/4" -3/8" thick, separate, and add rings to pot
After pot cools completely put everything in a container and place in refer. to chill
Over time carrots will marinate in juices and take on a slightly hot taste.
I like my hot carrots with egg burritos, tacos, in salads, etc.
Bien Provecho!

If they're hotter than Macaroni and Cheese, that leaves me out. When I see that word, "Jalapeño", all I see are red flags.

C'mon Dennis, man up. Here's Jimmy Buffett's recipe for jalapeno macaroni and cheese. I bet it goes great with some of that escabeche on the side,
and a cold Pacifico or three.
Jimmy Buffett's Jalapeno Macaroni and Cheese
Ingredients:
8 tbl butter melted
1/2 lb cream cheese melted
2 1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp Tony Chachere's Seasoning (creole seasoning salt, Lawry's will do)
1/2 lb Cheddar cheese
1/3 cup flour
1 cup sliced jalapenos from jar
1/2 cup jalapeno juice from jar
2 tbl bread crumbs
1 lb 10 inch macaroni or other tubular noodles broken in smaller lengths and cooked al dente
Method:
In a saucepan melt butter. Add cream cheese and mix until blended. Add heavy cream and whisk. Add jalapeno juice and whisk. Mix in cheddar,
stirring until cheddar is completely melted. Mix in sliced jalapenos. Add salt, Tony Chachere's seasoning and flour. Continue whisking until all
ingredients are completely incorporated.
Spray loaf pan with pan coating. Layer bottom of pan with cooked macaroni. Cover with cheddar mixture. Add another layer of pasta and cheddar
mixture. Dust top with bread crumbs.
Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until brown.

Gotta admit, that sounds pretty good. I think I'll save this one.
Actually, Jalapeños arn't too bad in a mix. Those Habañeros are the ones that scar the exit. Have no idea how sane people can eat them.

I was just thinking: Couldn't you leave the carrots out of the pot when boiling and then use the cooked mixture, cooled, as a marinade for raw, sliced
carrots? I'll bet the marinade would permeate the raw, sliced carrots if kept in a sealed jar for a few days.

Recipe sounds GREAT---want to try it.
I wonder if one was to use the carrots raw, if maybe they should be quickly blanched first?
An oh, that Mac and Chesse Recipe also sounds really good --- just need a few extra lipitor.

Dennis, I once made a pizza topped with sliced habaneros. One of my dumber experiments.

I get it, Dan O.
In consuming Jimmy Buffet's Jalapeno Macaroni and Cheese, The cup of Jalapenos plus the Jalapeno juice, would blow a hole in your arteries, thereby
allowing all the lipids to leech out.

If that doesn't work, you might try a handful of Alli to prevent absorption of some of the fat in the butter, cheese and cream. Just watch out for
the nasty side effects.

That's a good carrot recipe...technically, zanahorias en escabeche. Mixed vegetables is also good with this recipe.
Here's another way to do carrots: cut carrots in half crosswise and on the diagonal lengthwise (once for each cut unless really thick, then cut twice
lengthwise)...in a bowl mix a little olive oil with honey and ancho chile paste...add carrots and coat well. Roast until just tender.

All of the above sounds wonderful. Zanahorias en Escabeche is one of my favorite snacks.
Regarding the J.B. Mac n cheese, I've always wanted something like that to go with my Boat drinks.
I will print these receipes out for chef Dern.
Thanks.

Now that's a recipe for carrots that I think I could get Mr. Tigerdog to eat. Except for salads, it's hard to get him to eat veggies unless I hide
them in something like soup or stir fry. Although, if I make a hot or mustardy or vinegary sauce to completely mask the fact that they're veggies,
he'll eat them.
He's a condiments man. His theory seems to be, of what use is a hot dog without mustard and jalapenos? Why does sushi exist if not for soy and wasabe?
Hamburgers were created for the sole purpose of smothering them in catsup and Louisiana garlic hot sauce. You get the idea.
It's the sauces and/or condiments he relishes more than the food underneath them.
I've tried canned Zanahorias en Escabeche and they suck. I'll try the recipe with fresh carrots, and I think he'll like them. Thanks!

I've been watching this post with interest.
DYK (did you know)......salsa surpassed ketchup as the top selling condiment about 8 years ago?
DYK....salsa is also approved to be served with school lunches as a vegetable...............(as long as it's make with fresh veggies and not a lot of
salt)
Also, there are 'school/preschool" recipes for spaghetti that include carrots and fit into the parameters for "vegetable" in the daily diet.
If you read the labels of many brand name spaghetti sauces, many contain carrots. They are a natural sweetener, so the manufacturer can put carrot in
instead of suger! It serves the same purpose and sweetens the product without refined sugar.
I love carrots!
I don't particularly like "pickled" condiments, but I do like hot items and items that fit into the "probionic" category
.....kimchee ( I make a GREAT fresh kimchee, don't even mention SunLuck), kraut,..........that kind of stuff

BajaNuts, I'd love your recipe for kimchee. That's one of Mr. Tigerdog's favorite things (but it sure stinks up the joint, lol). Yeah, I must have
been having a senior moment, forgot about salsa, his very mostest favorite condiment of all.

Chorizo Burritos and Hot Carrots
Besides some hot sauce and chunk salsa to add to the chorizo burritos, try the "hot carrots" I placed in the recipe section. I like hot carrots with
my breakfast burritos.
