easter carrot hunt


Grandma said she needed more space in the greenhouse so we gladly harvested the carrots... Could you believe these carrots grew during the winter in NY, and were harvested on Easter?. The carrot leaves looked so yummy (am I a rabbit?), apparently the leaves are edible, have a flavorful and a bitter taste. We will experiment with the leaves this week, some might go into the salads, some in tabbouli, some might be juiced, how about a a carrot leaf soup?

Anneanne'nin yeni bitkilerine yer acmak icin sevinerek serasindaki havuclari topladik. Bu havuclarin New York kisinda yetistigine ve Paskalya'da toplandigina inanabiliyor musunuz? Havucun yesilligi de cok lezzetli gorundu (tavsan miyim nedir?), megersem o da yeniyormus, lezzetli ve acimsi bi tadi var. Bu hafta bu havuc yapraklarini kullanarak biseyler yapicaz, bi kismi salatalara katilabilir, kisira cok yakisir sanirim, bi kisminin suyu cikarilabilir, peki ya havuc yapragi corbasina ne dersiniz?
