Carroty Mac & Cheese

From Epicurios:


ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat macaroni
  • 2 1/2 cups coarsely grated carrot (about 8 small)
  • 3 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese


preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and grease an 8-inch square baking pan. Arrange a rack in the top third of the oven.
2. Cook macaroni according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water; add carrot 3 minutes before pasta is finished cooking; drain well.
3. While pasta is hot, stir in all but 1/2 cup of the cheddar and the butter. In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, eggs, salt, mustard powder, and pepper. Fold mixture into the pasta.
4. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and the parmesan over the top. Bake until the casserole is firm to the touch and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
What Else?
•If you're grating your cheddar cheese in the food processor, you don't have to wash out the machine before grating the carrots. Or vice versa. 
•This is one of those macaroni and cheeses with an eggy custard base that puffs as it cooks, and is cut into squares to serve, like a casserole, as opposed to that gooey, creamy, stove-top béchamel sauce version. I know that some people have strong opinions about proper mac and cheese (I'm an equal opportunist myself), but thought I'd let you know what you're getting.
•Feed this dish to the kids as is; grown-ups should indulge with a squirt of fiery Sriracha or other hot sauce all over the top.
•You can vary the cheese to give this rather plain (if tasty) dish more personality. Gruyère, aged Cheddar, pecorino, and aged Gouda will all add a sophisticated allure that will raise it above mere kids' food

Apple Chips

From The Jew & The Carrot:


Homemade Apple Chips
4 medium-large apples (approx 1.5 pounds)
1 quart unfiltered apple juice or cider
2 cinnamon sticks

1) Preheat oven to 250 degrees
2) Combine apple juice and cinnamon sticks in a large pot with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3) While the juice is heating up, slice apples (no need to peel) - either slice on a mandoline, or with a sharp knife. I like them through the core so that you see the star shape where the seeds were. This part of the activity is best left to an adult, not a child.
4) Once the juice comes to a boil, add the apple slices and stir occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
5) Take out of the pot with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels or clean kitchen towels to absorb extra juice.
6) Spread the slices in a single layer on wire cooling racks and place in the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until light golden brown. If you don’t have cooling racks, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment and flip after 15-20 minutes.
7) Let cool completely and enjoy! Store in an airtight container if you have any leftovers.
  • Serve any excess juice as a delicious hot apple cider!
