I had never heard of Dutch carrots as being different to the usual ones and just had to google them.
Sure! Sometimes they are (erroneously) referred to a 'Baby' carrots.
Carrots can be yellow, pink, blue, orange, purple and even white. Our supermarket sells Dutch Carrots by the bunch with the green tops on. I still haven't made up my mind if I like them or not but they BBQ nicely if you leave about an inch of the green top on and throw them whole into the WeberQ with the baked spuds.
I must try!!! I have found the slow cooker within my cooking skill range! :)
Easy-Peasy stuff - look at the Brown Rice and Fish puff triangles as well. The curry paste is VERY MILD - increase heat factor by adding more curry powder or some chilli.
