CARROT RING
A cross between a carrot cake and a carrot pudding, this velvety, warm, gently sweet side dish is a classic Jewish holiday offering. This version is adapted from Dana Green of Benicia, Calif., who got it from her grandmother. "Everyone who encounters it is wary of the name, carrot ring, but they end up loving it, they have seconds," Ms. Green said. You can make this ahead by allowing the ring to cool in the pan, then wrapping the whole thing in plastic wrap, pan and all, and freezing it for up to one month. Let thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Unwrap and reheat in a 300-degree oven for about 30 minutes or so before serving.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 4-cup tube pan or small Bundt pan.
- Put carrots in a small pot and cover with water by at least an inch. Bring to a boil and cook until carrots are tender, 20 to 30 minutes (the thinner the slices the more quickly they cook). Add more water if needed to keep carrots mostly submerged.
- Drain and mash the carrots with a potato masher or fork, then measure out 1 cup of the mash. (Reserve any remaining carrots to eat with a little butter and salt if you like.) Let carrots cool.
- Put baking soda and 1 tablespoon warm water in the bowl of an electric mixer and mix to dissolve. Add shortening or butter and sugar and beat until fluffy. Beat in egg, lemon juice and salt until smooth, then beat in carrots. Finally, beat in flour and baking powder.
- Pour batter into pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve warm.

GRANDMA MINNIE'S CARROT RING
When I was growing up, holidays in the Kahan house were celebrated with family meals made by my Russian grandmother, Grandma Minnie. One of her most beloved recipes was her savory carrot cake, called Grandma Minnie's Carrot Ring. Similar to cornbread's sweet-savory combination of flavors, it is delicious served mounded with Braised Romano Beans with Salmoriglio or your favorite hearty winter vegetable. (Note: please plan ahead for overnight refrigeration of batter.)

Tips for Making Carrot Ring:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
- Peel the carrots thinly: Using a vegetable peeler, carefully peel the carrots into long, thin strips. The thinner the strips, the more delicate the carrot ring will be.
- Soak the carrot strips in cold water: This will help to make them more pliable and easier to work with.
- Use a bundt pan or ring mold: Grease the pan or mold with cooking spray before adding the carrot strips.
- Arrange the carrot strips in a circular pattern: Start by placing a layer of carrot strips around the bottom of the pan or mold. Then, continue adding layers of carrot strips, overlapping them slightly as you go.
- Bake the carrot ring until it is tender: The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of the carrot strips. Check the carrot ring regularly with a toothpick to make sure it is cooked through.
- Let the carrot ring cool before serving: Once the carrot ring is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes before removing it from the pan or mold. This will help to prevent the carrot ring from breaking.
Conclusion:
Carrot ring is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. It is a great way to use up leftover carrots, and it is also a healthy and nutritious option. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a carrot ring that will impress your family and friends.
