この季節、ベジファームなかやさんのデリバリーの中に入ってきて楽しみなのが葉付きにんじん。野菜好きの私でも５本の指に入るくらい大好物。間引きのこの時期は多めに入ってきますし、ついたままお願いします。。と頼む時も。
これがナントモ美味しく、使い道も多い。香草のように香りもあるので、スープに炒め物に、やわらかい葉の部分は刻んでそのまま飾りとしても使えます。
それではにんじん葉オンパレードで・・
This season, I am excited to have carrots leaves inside of the delivery box from organic vegetable farm 'Nakaya'. It could be one of my top five favorite vegetables! We get a lot especially this time of year because of the thin seedling carrots, otherwise I order them with leaves on. This is very yummy and there are many ways to use for cooking. They have good smell same as herbs so they are useful for soup, stir fry, also the soft part of the leaves is good for salad or decoration. This time, let me show you carrots leaves cooking parade!
まずはパスタ。お友達のケイちゃんから頂いたイタリアのお土産ポルチーニ茸、トマト、新たまねぎとガーリックをつかって、唐辛子でいためます。
Pasta, with Italian porcine mushrooms, tomato, spring onions, garlic and hot peppers.
新じゃがのロースト。大体新じゃががよい色になって
きたら、最初に人参葉の根元に近い茎の部分（硬い部分）を入れよく炒める。その後仕上げに刻んだ葉の部分を入れて。
Roasted new potatoes. When you are almost done roasting the potatoes, put the lower part of the carrot leaf stems (hard part) first and fry well. Add upper part of leaves last.
葉の部分はお弁当の彩りにだって使えます。
Leaves are good to use for adding color for lunch boxes.
今回写真は無いのですが、マクロビの先生ｵｽｽﾒで人参の葉をかきあげにも。
I didn't take a picture but it is good to have with tempura, too. I got the recipe from a macrobiotic cooking teacher.
こちらはズッキーニときのこの炒め物。お弁当に入れても色合いがキレイで、にんじんの葉の香りもマッチします。
This is stir fry with zucchini and mushrooms. Pretty colorful and can be useful for lunch boxes, too. Good flavor with carrots leaves.
オリーブの実とキャベツのあっさり塩味でのパスタもおいし～～いよ！
This is pasta with olives, cabbage, and carrot leaves. Seasoned simply with salt.
ね、みんな簡単に使えるでしょ！
See? so easy to use and they are delicious!
