The context is a food encyclopedia, as per my previous question. The list of uses for carrots is as follows:
"Raw carrots are eaten plain, in salads and as an hors-d’œuvre or used in cake and cookie batters. Cooked, it is prepared with cream, **en jardinière**, glazed, with butter or pureed. They are used in soups, stews, quiches, soufflés and omelets."
My first instinct was that "en jardinière" meant "with fresh herbs". A look around the net suggests that when *meats* are prepared "en jardinière", it just means with garden/spring vegetables (including of course carrots!), and "carottes en jardinière" seems to refer to carrots sold as a bunch of young small carrots rather than a style of dish.
No vouching once again for the pertinence of this list, but I am sure there are other gourmand-translators out there who will know what this means...
As my translation above hints, this is for a US English market if that makes a difference.

Carrots "en jardinière"
I'd leave it in French but add an explanation. My Larousse Gastronomique describes it as "a mixture of vegetables, essentially carrots, turnips and French beans, servedas a garnish for roast or sautéed meat, casseroled poultry, etc.... Carrots and turnips are cut into chunks, 3-4 cm long, then cut again into matchsticks. French beans are cut into chunks, sometimes diamond-shaped. The vegetables are cooked separately, then mixed with garden peas and bound together with butter. A jardinière can also consist of a simple macédoine of vegetables."

Re macédoine - I wasn't suggesting that this be used as an alternative, merely quoting verbatim what it says in Larousse!

Comment: "Thanks, Claire, I ended up retaining the French and putting an explanation in brackets: "cut into chunks and cooked with other garden vegetables".
Thanks to all for their helpful suggestions."

carot dice
english may be improved but explanation:
it looks like it just means cut in dice, as they are in a jardinière, which the mix of vegatables, all cut in dice (except the peas !).

I finally think the way of cutting the carrot is not relevant in the context, since what ever the form, they may be prepared with cream, butter or so on.
I think it is rather "in a" jardinière, i.e. with other vegetables.

Hi Melissa,
True, jardiniere is a garnish of fresh cooked veggies, but it also a way of slicing carrots, turnips and other roots vegetables.
This link has excellent visuals:
http://www.basesdelacuisine.com/Cadre2/z2/pp40.htm
And this link also provides descriptions of basic vegetable preparations, including jardiniere
http://www.hub-uk.com/tallytip01/tip0003.htm
Jardiniere : Batons of root vegetables, for example carrot.
Wash and peel carrot and cut into 5mm thick slices. Cut 3cm lengths and then cut into 5mm thick batons
You might even want to leave jardiniere in French since it is a valid cooking term and put batons in brackets.

I agree with Claire. You could say something like mixed with other vegetables in a "jardiniere".

Just a note, while I agree that here they are no doubt referring simply to a mix of vegetables, jardinere and macedoine are technically not the same thing. Jardiniere is a mix of vegetables cut into batons, while macedoine is a mix of diced vegetables.

: Esp with your last note. Jardinière and macédoine are not the same. Different shape, different veg, and not prepared the same way at all.
