450 g carrots
1 bouquet garni
100 g low-fat fromage blanc
1 small orange, juiced
1 black pepper
1 grated nutmeg
1 small bunch of fresh chives
Directions
Serves 2-3
The really fresh flavours and soft textures of this unusual carrot
dish make a lovely meal. Serve it on a bed of noodles, with a
side-salad and some fresh bread to mop up the juices.
Peel, wash and cut carrots into strips. Cook in boiling water with the
bouquet garni for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Remove the
bouquet garni. Cool while you prepare the sauce.
Season the fromage blanc with the orange juice, pepper, grated nutmeg
and chopped chives. Spoon the cold sauce over the warm carrots and
serve.

The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes far back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, in the main part, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have two recipe books which date from the 14th Century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are not about the curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the rich people of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a torrent in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are now in private cookery archives. The TV revolution brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Carrots With Soft Cheese recipe.
