This is a French classic, carrots Vichy, or glazed carrots. The idea is simply to cook the carrots with some sugar, water, lemon juice and butter until they are tender and glazed with the melted sugar. Care must be taken to avoid overcooking and burning the sugar mixture.

MARINATED CARROTS



Marinated Carrots image

This is a very old recipe that was handed down to my Mother from her aunt, who we called "Aunt El", and who has long since passed away. I just found the recipe as I was packing up boxes in preparation for a major move. I have no idea how many it serves because a "bunch" of carrots is anybody's guess. I think of it more as a condiment or something to serve at a barbecue. If Splenda is used for the sugar it can be a very low calorie dish. Also, the ingredients are generally on hand, so it's pretty economical. Thanks Aunt El!

FRENCH GRATED CARROT SALAD



French Grated Carrot Salad image

Want to work more carrots into your diet? Make up a batch of grated carrot salad every week. Standard fare in French cafes and charcuteries, this salad keeps well. If you have it handy, you'll be eating carrots every day. This classic version is made with a salad oil rather than stronger-tasting olive oil. You have a choice here, as extra-virgin olive oil has health benefits that canola oil may not. Still, choose a mild-tasting olive oil rather than a strong green one. For a twist on this version, try it curried, bolstered with capers, cumin and curry powder.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil (or a mix of the two), or use 2 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt or buttermilk and 4 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper
1 pound carrots, peeled and grated
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and mustard in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add the carrots and parsley and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate before serving (I recommend making this 30 minutes to 1 hour ahead, then tossing again).

2 ounces butter

black pepper
sugar
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

FRENCH MARINATED CARROTS



FRENCH MARINATED CARROTS image

Categories     Vegetable     Appetizer

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound carrots
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
pinch of cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme (or several sprigs of fresh)
several sprigs of parsley
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic, slightly flattened and peeled
1 teaspoon dr;y mustard (or 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard)

Steps:

  • Peel carrots and slice off tips and stem ends. Cut in about 2 1/2-inch lengths. The thickest lengths can be ct into 8 sticks, the middle ones in 4, and the slinder just cut in half. Don't worry much about this, you want to have sticks approximately all the same size and length, but that's it. Place in a saucepan with all ingredients except mustard. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, 15-20 minutes over medium-high heat. After 15 minutesw bit into one and see. They should still have some bite to them, not limp. Let them sit in the marinade until cool, then lift with a slotted spoon into a bowl. Discard bay leaf, parsley and thyme sprigs and garlic. Whisk mustard into the marinade and pour over carrots. Seve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, young carrots for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the carrots into even-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the carrots in the marinade; they need room to absorb the flavors.
  • Let the carrots marinate for at least 30 minutes, but overnight is even better.
  • You can use any type of vinegar you like in the marinade, but white vinegar or rice vinegar are good choices.
  • Add some fresh herbs or spices to the marinade for extra flavor.
  • Serve the marinated carrots as a side dish, salad, or appetizer.

Conclusion:

French marinated carrots are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, salad, or appetizer. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
