International Carrot Day is celebrated every year on 4 April with food lovers around the world whipping up their favourite carrot-inspired dishes in honour of this ancient vegetable.<\/p>\n

But what of this oddly shaped root crop that comes in a variety of colours in addition to the more commonly recognised orange version? It is thought that the carrot originated in\u00a0Persia (modern day Iran)\u00a0and was originally cultivated for its aromatic leaves and seeds rather than its roots. A member of the parsley family, it was first grown for medicinal purposes and, as early as the 10th century, the wild carrot was being used to ease childbirth for women. Other close relatives of the carrot are still grown for their leaves and seeds, such as\u00a0coriander<\/a>,\u00a0fennel<\/a>, anise,\u00a0dill<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0cumin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One enduring myth about carrots is that they help you see better in the dark. This\u00a0 falsehood\u00a0was\u00a0propaganda\u00a0used by the\u00a0Royal Air Force\u00a0during the\u00a0Second World War\u00a0to explain why their pilots had improved success during night air battles, but was actually used to disguise their advances in\u00a0radar\u00a0technology and the use of red lights on instrument panels.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the consumption of carrots was advocated in Britain at the time as part of a\u00a0Dig for Victory\u00a0campaign and people were encouraged to grow, store and use carrots, with the result that in 1942 there was not only a 100,000-ton surplus of carrots from the extra production, but also a plethora of recipes including carrot jam, carrot soup and\u00a0Woolton Pie – which was named after\u00a0Lord Woolton, the\u00a0Minister for Food.<\/p>\n

In South Africa, the most popular carrot dishes include glazed carrots, curried carrot salad, coleslaw and the globally popular carrot cake.<\/p>\n

We asked some of the successful alumni graduates from Capsicum Culinary Studio for their favourite carrot recipes and here’s what they sent us …<\/p>\n

Hendrik’s Carrot Muffins<\/strong> \u00a0(Makes 12 large muffins)
\nHendrik Pretorius, who hails from Middleburg, now bakes treats for visitors to the Lisbon-based coffee shop, Simpli, where he works, and says his carrot muffins are always amongst the first to be snapped up by hungry customers.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/u><\/p>\n

520g flour
\n150ml oil
\n320g sugar
\n250ml yoghurt
\n250ml milk
\n5ml bicarbonate of soda
\n20ml baking powder
\n2 large egg
\n100g carrots, finely grated
\n4 tsp cinnamon powder
\n130g walnuts
\n4 tsp vanilla essence
\n5ml ginger powder<\/p>\n

Method<\/u><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 180\u00baC and place a rack in the centre of the oven.
\nGrease a 12 cup muffin tray with butter or baking spray. (If you use muffin papers spray them on the inside so the muffins don’t stick.)
\nIn a medium bowl whisk together the oil, yoghurt, milk, eggs and vanilla extract.
\nIn a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, cinnamon powder and ginger powder.
\nMake a well in the flour mixture and pour the wet mixture into the centre of the dry mixture and fold together until the ingredients are well combined.
\nAdd the grated carrots and mix thoroughly. Using a spoon, scoop the mixture into the muffin cups until each cup is about \u00be full.
\nBake for 30-35 minutes, rotating the muffin tray halfway through the baking time, until the muffins are golden brown. (Insert a skewer and if it comes out clean the muffins are done.) Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan before serving.<\/p>\n

Hendrik’s notes: The muffins are best served freshly baked but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They can be refreshed in the oven at 150\u00baC for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

Harris Hlungwani’s Carrot Meringue Pie<\/strong>
\n“One of the few things South Africans never stopped doing during lockdown is celebrating their birthdays, so I’ve been providing exquisite personalised custom-made birthday cakes and catering under my newly founded catering company, Generis Taste<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/u><\/p>\n

For the carrot puree:
\n500g peeled carrots, ends removed
\n4 tbsp of unsalted butter
\n1 tbsp of white granulated sugar
\n2 tbsp of heavy cream
\n1 pinch of salt
\n50g of agar agar (use gelatin if agar agar unavailable)<\/p>\n

For the crust:
\n300g tennis biscuits
\n125ml melted butter<\/p>\n

For the Swiss meringue:
\n6 extra large egg whites
\n375g white sugar<\/p>\n

Method<\/u><\/p>\n

For the pie crust: Pre-heat the oven to 180\u00b0C. Combine the butter and biscuits in a food processor and blend until fine. Transfer to a 23cm\/9in pie dish and press into and even, thin layer, including up the sides of the dish and bake for 10 minutes.
\nFor the carrot puree: Cut the peeled carrots into equal small sizes and boil in a medium sauce pan until soft. Drain and then add the carrots, butter, sugar, salt and heavy cream into an electric blender and blend on medium until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan and simmer. Add the agar agar. Add the mixture to the pie crust, cover with clingfilm and leave to cool in the fridge.
\nFor the Swiss meringue: Combine the egg whites and sugar in a large metal or glass bowl and set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Whisk the mixture until the sugar has dissolved. Transfer the bowl to a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer), and with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Dollop the egg whites onto the chilled pie and decorate to your preference. Caramelise the egg whites with a kitchen blow torch until golden brown and serve immediately.<\/p>\n
