DILLED CARROTS



Dilled Carrots image

Most people don't think of pairing dill and carrots. But my family agrees that dill adds a nice tang to this slightly sweet vegetable. An herb that is easy to grow, dill also looks lovely in the garden.-Verona Koehlmoos, Pilger, Nebraska

Categories     Side Dishes

Time 15m

Yield 3-4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 to 3 cups sliced carrots
1/4 cup diced green pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

  • In a saucepan, cook carrots in a small amount of water until crisp-tender; drain. Add remaining ingredients. Cook over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until hot.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, select young, tender carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes.
  • Wash and peel the carrots: Scrub the carrots thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin, if desired.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: For even cooking, cut the carrots into uniform-sized pieces, such as thin slices, rounds, or sticks.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, and thyme, add a burst of flavor to the carrots. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the carrots, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may result in steamed carrots instead of roasted or sautéed carrots.
  • Season the carrots well: Before cooking, season the carrots with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Roast or sauté the carrots until tender: Depending on the method you choose, roast or sauté the carrots until they are tender and slightly caramelized. This may take 10-15 minutes for roasting and 5-7 minutes for sautéing.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: Roasted or sautéed carrots are best served immediately, while they are still warm and flavorful. You can garnish them with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Dill-spiced carrots are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. Whether you choose to roast, sauté, or steam the carrots, be sure to use fresh ingredients and season them well. With their sweet and earthy flavor, complemented by the aromatic dill, these carrots are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give dill-spiced carrots a try!
