NAD BUNEP NEVSID, pronounced "You can only have this much." This is not mashed potatoes or refried beans, but plays one on TV.
Note: There is no known Q that this won't go with. Please advise.
This is obviously very easy (Lazy?) to make. Spelled out: In a preheated bare-naked pot over medium-high heat, add cold oil, saute onion till limp.
Add drained carrots and continue to saute until the carrot slivers shrink up some. (We are carmalizing the onion and carrot, and disguising the carrots a little) Add remaining ingredients except celery salt. Bring to a roiling boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring once in a while. When everything is softened and most of the liquid is gone, serve this to somebody who doesn't particulary like vegetables.
Tell 'em it's a lumpy yet not particularly colorful Soul Food from a recipe handed down from generation to generation since around the end of the twentieth century. Admit that it isn't very healthful, but sure tastes good and there ain't enough for seconds. When I advertise this invention on my new late night infomercial, it will claim, "Several separate flavors in every bite." This will be true, since the flavors DON'T mingle, try it and see.
