PERSIAN-STYLE CARROTS AND BLACK-EYED PEAS
One of my favorite crops from my husband's farm are his fall carrots. I prefer the fall carrots because as the weather gets colder the vegetable sugars concentrate, yielding the sweetest carrots of the year. We use lots of carrots in this recipe, so that it's more about the carrots than anything else. For the best flavor, serve it cold the day after you make it. You can substitute chickpeas for the black-eyed peas, if you prefer to use another type of bean.

GLAZED FRESH PEAS AND CARROTS WITH MINT AND DILL
Steps:
- Cut a 1/2-inch piece from a carrot at an angle. Roll the carrot until the cut side faces up and cut another 1/2-inch piece at an angle. Continue rolling and cutting both carrots.
- Combine the carrots, onion, 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until very tender, about 10 minutes. A knife should be able to pierce through a carrot with no resistance.
- Meanwhile, combine the peas and 3 tablespoons water in a large saucepan. There should be just enough water to coat the bottom of the pan. If there isn't, add more water as needed. Bring to a boil, then simmer, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the peas are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the carrot mixture and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to the peas. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are glazed and bound by a thin, creamy sauce, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and top with mint and dill.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, young carrots. Avoid large, woody carrots, as they will not cook as evenly.
- If you don't have fresh peas, you can use frozen peas. Just thaw them before using.
- If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute white sugar. However, brown sugar will give the carrots a richer flavor.
- You can add a pinch of salt to the carrots before cooking them. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- If you like, you can add a teaspoon of butter to the carrots after they are cooked. This will give them a richer flavor and a glossy sheen.
Conclusion:
Glazed carrots with peas is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in just a few minutes. The carrots are tender and sweet, and the peas add a pop of color and flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
