Provided by Parsley

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb carrot, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon orange juice (or pineapple juice)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4-1/2 teaspoon chili powder
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, add the carrots and cover with water; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender; drain and place in a bowl; set aside.
  • In the same saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter. Add the brown sugar, hot pepper sauce, lemon juice, orange juice (or pineapple juice), cumin, garlic, and chili powder.
  • Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sugar bubbles and the spices are fragrant.
  • Add the cooked, drained carrots; toss to coat the carrots with the sauce.
  • Season to taste with salt; serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, choose fresh, crisp carrots that are about 1 inch in diameter.
  • Peel the carrots before cooking: This will help the carrots to cook evenly and will also remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: Overcooked carrots will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Use fresh orange juice: Fresh orange juice will give the carrots the best flavor. If you don't have fresh orange juice, you can use bottled orange juice, but be sure to choose a high-quality brand.
  • Add a touch of spice: The addition of spices, such as cumin, coriander, and ginger, will add a depth of flavor to the carrots.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: Once the carrots are cooked, serve them immediately. This will prevent them from becoming soggy.

The orange juice and spices add a delicious sweetness and depth of flavor. The addition of cilantro adds a fresh, herbaceous note. These carrots are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
