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.

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (3 1/2-4-lb.) chicken
Kosher salt
1 head of garlic, halved crosswise, plus 4 cloves, thinly sliced
1 1/2 lb. carrots, scrubbed, cut in half
8 small shallots, peeled
1 (2") piece ginger, unpeeled, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Season chicken generously with salt inside and out. Place head of garlic inside cavity; tie legs together if desired. Let sit at least 5 minutes or chill, uncovered, up to 2 days.
  • Combine carrots, shallots, ginger, butter, and honey in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot; season lightly with salt. Place chicken on top, nestling into vegetables so lid will sit tight. Cover; bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast registers 155°F, about 2 hours. Uncover and let rest 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook oil and sliced garlic in a small saucepan over medium until garlic is lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and let cool. Stir in lime juice; season dressing with salt.
  • Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until skin is browned and crisp, 10-14 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place pot over medium-high heat; bring juices to a simmer. Cook, reducing heat as needed, until vegetables are glazed, 10-12 minutes. Keep warm over low heat until chicken is done.
  • Serve chicken on top of vegetables with dressing drizzled over.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
4 cardamom pods
3 pounds carrots, sliced on the diagonal 1/3 inch thick (you can also use baby carrots left whole)
2 tablespoons sugar

MAKE AHEAD The carrots can be refrigerated overnight. Rewarm before serving.

Tips:

  • If you want a sweeter glaze, add an extra tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
