BRAISED CARROTS WITH CUMIN AND RED PEPPER



Braised Carrots With Cumin and Red Pepper image

This recipe calls for braising the humble carrot in olive oil and garlic, then seasoning with toasted cumin and red pepper. They taste good hot or at room temperature which makes them ideal for a large dinner party or potluck. Use real carrots and peel your own. Which is not to say that those miniature peeled carrots in bags aren't real, but, convenience aside, they often lack true carrot flavor.

Time 30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds medium carrots, peeled
4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt
6 garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed, toasted and coarsely ground
2 teaspoons mild red pepper flakes, like Aleppo or Marash
2 teaspoons paprika, smoked or unsmoked

Steps:

  • Cut the carrots lengthwise, or quarter them if you wish.
  • Warm the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the carrots and turn them in the oil to coat. Season generously with salt. Add the garlic and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cover the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the carrots are just tender.
  • Remove the lid, raise the heat, and let any remaining water cook away.
  • Sprinkle the cumin, red pepper and paprika over the carrots and transfer them to an oven-proof serving dish. Serve hot or at room temperature. The carrots may be left at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours, or refrigerated and brought to room temperature, before reheating in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes.

ROASTED CARROTS WITH TURMERIC AND CUMIN



Roasted Carrots With Turmeric and Cumin image

These are based on Suzanne Goin's turmeric-spiced root vegetables from her wonderful new book "The A.O.C. Cookbook." I use her technique for roasting the carrots, and use the same spices she uses, but I make the dish with a little less olive oil and butter. Suzanne serves her mix of carrots, turnips, parsnips and rutabagas with Greek yogurt seasoned with makrut lime juice and zest, and mint chutney. They are also delicious on their own.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, appetizer, side dish

Time 40m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 medium carrots, peeled
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, lightly toasted
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or mild chili powder
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the carrots in half lengthwise and crosswise. If the carrots are fat at one end, cut the fat half in half again lengthwise, so that the pieces are more or less equal in thickness. Place in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper, and thyme leaves.
  • Heat a heavy baking sheet in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the carrots on it in one layer. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring the carrots every 10 minutes. They should be slightly caramelized and tender.
  • While the carrots are in the oven place the cumin and coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle and grind. Add the soft butter, turmeric and Aleppo pepper or chili powder and stir with the pestle until well amalgamated. Transfer to a large pan.
  • Remove the carrots from the oven when done and add to the pan with the spice butter and the mint. Toss together, taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve from the pan or transfer to a platter.

Tips for Making Braised Carrots with Cumin and Red Pepper:

  • Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, use young, tender carrots. Avoid carrots that are too thick or woody.
  • Cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the carrots are too thick, cut them in half or quarters lengthwise before slicing them.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil will help to bring out the flavor of the carrots and other ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the carrots will steam instead of braising. Cook the carrots in batches if necessary.
  • Be patient: Braising takes time, but it's worth it. The longer you cook the carrots, the more tender and flavorful they will become.

Conclusion:

Braised carrots with cumin and red pepper is a simple but delicious dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. The carrots are tender and flavorful, and the cumin and red pepper add a nice touch of spice. This dish is also very healthy, as it is packed with vitamins and minerals. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give braised carrots with cumin and red pepper a try. You won't be disappointed.
