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.

Tips:

  • Choose tender carrots: Baby carrots or young, slender carrots work best for this recipe as they cook quickly and evenly. If using larger carrots, cut them into 2-inch pieces.
  • Use fresh ginger and cardamom: Fresh ginger and cardamom add a bright, aromatic flavor to the carrots. If you don't have fresh ginger or cardamom, you can use ground ginger and cardamom, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't crowd the pan: When cooking the carrots, make sure not to crowd the pan. If the pan is too crowded, the carrots will steam instead of caramelize.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the carrots from burning.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: The carrots should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.

Conclusion:

These glazed carrots with cardamom and ginger are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. The carrots are tender and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness from the honey and a warm, aromatic flavor from the ginger and cardamom. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
