Help us, Obi-Wan LiveJournal -- you're our only hope!

Despite our best efforts, we continue to lose ground to our CSA when it comes to carrots. They are delicious, but we cannot dispose of them all with our usual cooking methods, not when we get a new large bunch every. single. week. The backlog has gone way past Condition Orange or even Condition Red. I am considering declaring it Condition Actinic.

In short, we need help.

Can anyone suggest recipes that use large amounts of carrots?

Bonus points for dishes tasty and interesting enough to keep us from getting sick of the taste.

So, if you'd like some carrots when you're next in Tucson ... :-)

See, I'm in Germany for the next month! By which time your carrot problem must have been either solved, or composted...

Ahah! Spicy pickled carrots. Good for a couple months in the fridge. NOW we're talking.

That has possibilities ... the recipe that came up claimed up to a week, but maybe it'd last longer ...

Yeah, yeah, everyone says that ...
