GLAZED CARROTS
A spicy ginger beer and chili glaze elevates this simple carrot side dish.When it comes to pairing carrots with other flavors, I like keeping it in the same botanical family. That's because the carrot and its cousins celery, parsley, caraway, dill, and fennel all share a unique flavor compound: Petroselinic acid. By seasoning carrots with, say, fresh parsley, not only can we build a portfolio of contrasting flavors, the intensity of the carrot flavor itself is amplified...that's right...to 11!This recipe first appeared in Season 8 of Good Eats.
