Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 5 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 bunches carrots, peeled
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons honey
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the carrots diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. You should have about 5 cups of carrots. Place 1/2 cup water, the butter, honey, 2 teaspoons of salt, and the ginger in a large saute pan and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, cover the pan, and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, or until all the water has evaporated. You may want to raise the heat for the last 5 minutes.
  • Add the orange zest and orange juice to the pan, tossing with the carrots. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, until the carrots are al dente (tender but still resistant when you bite) and the sauce glazes the carrots. Add the pepper and another teaspoon of salt, to taste.

CARROTS WITH GRAND MARNIER RECIPE



Carrots with Grand Marnier Recipe image

Provided by tlshinnick

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 medium carrots
1/8 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Cut carrots into 2 inch long matchsticks. Set aside. In small saucepan, mix sugar and water and bring to a boil. Simmer for two minutes. Add cinnamon and simmer one more minute. Remove from heat. Stir in Grand Marnier and butter until melted. Cook carrots in boiling, salted water until just tender. Drain and toss with sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: For the best results, use fresh, young carrots with a sweet flavor. Avoid carrots that are woody or have blemishes.
  • Peel and trim the carrots: Before cooking, peel and trim the carrots to remove any blemishes or tough ends.
  • Cut the carrots evenly: To ensure even cooking, cut the carrots into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
  • Use a large skillet: When cooking the carrots, use a large skillet to allow for even cooking. A cramped skillet will cause the carrots to steam rather than sauté, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When adding the carrots to the skillet, avoid overcrowding. Overcrowding will prevent the carrots from cooking evenly and will result in a watery dish.
  • Sauté the carrots until tender: Sauté the carrots over medium heat until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking will make the carrots mushy.
  • Add the Grand Marnier and orange juice: Once the carrots are tender, add the Grand Marnier and orange juice to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for a few minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Season to taste: Before serving, season the carrots with salt and pepper to taste.

Conclusion:

This Grand Marnier glazed carrots recipe is an easy and delicious way to prepare carrots. The combination of Grand Marnier, orange juice, and butter creates a sweet and savory glaze that complements the natural sweetness of the carrots. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. You can experiment with other citrus flavors by using lemon, grapefruit, or a combination of citrus. You can also add herbs such as thyme or rosemary for an extra layer of flavor.
