GLAZED CARROTS WITH ORANGE AND GINGER



Glazed Carrots With Orange and Ginger image

When carrots are cooked, it's often a sad affair. They are boiled to death and presented almost as an apology. Yet when they're treated with the respect they deserve, even ordinary supermarket carrots can be among the most reliable and enjoyable of vegetables, especially from fall through spring. This braise-and-glaze technique can be varied at will and can also be used with other roots, like beets, turnips and radishes. Once you have the hang of the technique, changing the flavorings is a snap. Try substituting a mixture of half balsamic vinegar, half water or soy sauce similarly diluted for the orange juice, adding a few cloves of peeled garlic with the carrots. Or add a half cup or so of chopped onions, shallots, scallions or leeks, or of chopped pitted dates or raisins, dried currants or even dried tomatoes.

ORANGE GINGER CARROTS



Orange Ginger Carrots image

--Adopted Recipe-- Changes from Original: Increased the ginger from 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon, so the orange flavor would not overpower the ginger; substituted baby cut carrots for the whole carrots; changed yield from six to four servings to allow for more generous servings. Preparation time includes slicing carrots, and cooking the sauce on top of the stove, and "cooking time" is standing time at the end.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Opt for fresh, medium-sized carrots with vibrant color and no signs of blemishes or wilting.
  • Prepare the carrots properly: Peel and cut the carrots into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. Slicing them diagonally adds a nice touch to the presentation.
  • Use fresh ginger and orange zest: These ingredients provide a burst of flavor and aroma. Grate the ginger finely to release its oils, and use a microplane zester to obtain the zest from the oranges.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the carrots, make sure there's enough space in the pan so they can brown properly. Overcrowding will result in steamed rather than sautéed carrots.
  • Cook the carrots until tender: Sautéing the carrots over medium-high heat allows them to develop a nice caramelized exterior while maintaining a tender-crisp texture inside.
  • Add the glaze at the end: The glaze is what brings all the flavors together. Add it to the pan towards the end of cooking, allowing it to thicken and coat the carrots.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: A sprinkling of chopped fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or chives adds a vibrant pop of color and freshness to the dish.

Conclusion:

Gingering orange carrots is an easy and flavorful side dish that can complement a variety of main courses. With its sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy notes, this dish is sure to impress your taste buds. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, these glazed carrots offer a delightful balance of flavors and textures.
