Honey-Glazed Carrots with Carrot Top Gremolata image

Dark honeys, like buckwheat, bring a touch of earthy sweetness to these lightly glazed beauties. The gremolata, made with the frilly green carrot tops, make a delicious and pretty finishing touch while adding to your #wasteless repertoire. If bunched carrots with tops aren't available, use parsley for the gremolata instead.

These sweet, citrusy carrots are an ideal accompaniment to savory, hearty main dishes, like Ebony's stewed chicken and dumplings from the magazine's first food editor, Freda DeKnight. This adaptation streamlines the usage of a pot and baking dish in the original and requires only a single ovenproof skillet. The dish tastes just the same and reflects Ms. DeKnight's commitment to fresh ingredients and vibrants flavors in her cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for young, tender carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid carrots that are too thick or have a woody core.
  • Peel the carrots thinly: This will help the glaze to penetrate the carrots and give them a more even coating.
  • Make sure the glaze is boiling before adding the carrots: This will help the glaze to adhere to the carrots and prevent them from becoming watery.
  • Cook the carrots until they are tender but still have a slight bite: Overcooked carrots will be mushy and bland.
  • Make the carrot top gremolata while the carrots are cooking: This will give the flavors time to meld.
  • Serve the carrots immediately, topped with the carrot top gremolata: This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Honey-glazed carrots with carrot top gremolata is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The carrots are tender and flavorful, with a slightly sweet and tangy glaze. The carrot top gremolata adds a bright, herbaceous flavor that complements the carrots perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
