The day before trash day is the day to see what remains in the fridge, so… often I will think of a dish to use something rather than throw it out, if I don’t think I will be using it within a week.
I bought creamed coconut about a year ago and just couldn’t decide what to do with it. Some people just eat bits of it each day. I prefer to add it to something.
The two things I really love adding to carrots are ginger and coconut…..
Therefore……
Creamed Coconut Gingered Carrots

3 pounds carrots, raw

Prep the carrots, place in water and cook until tender. Cool slightly. Place cooked carrots and ginger a food processor and pulse until smooth.
Add the salt, spices and creamed coconut and pulse until thoroughly mixed.
Serve warm as a side.
