[Casserole of Creamed Carrots with Onions and Garlic]
...just from the title...I didn't think that I would like this dish...as carrots don't seem like they should be with onions and garlic...they're a sweet thing in my book...more suited to glazing...
...but Julia calls this a 'hearty' side dish and says that it can even be used as a meatless main dish...
...of course you start out with a bunch of carrots...
...peel them...and slice them into 1/4 inch pieces...my Grandma's old Veg-O-Matic makes short work of that...
...I put them in a casserole with the onions...and olive oil...
...Julia says to cook them in a covered saucepan...but this is a casserole...and I already have the oven on...so into the oven they go...
...after they've cooked a bit...add the garlic...
...and then instead of mixing the flour in with the carrots and onions...I mixed it into my cream...and I also went ahead and added the Vegan Egg now...as I want my 'eggs' fully cooked...Julia has you add them at the very end...and just stir them into the hot dish...
...oh...and of course I omitted the nutmeg...as I'm not a fan...
...baked until all the veg was tender...
...and served with rice...TVP Beef strips and peas...
...and it was a slightly sweet and savory side dish...
...I liked it a lot better than I thought I would...

Vegan beef flavored bouillon
