BABY CARROTS WITH SWEET GINGER BUTTER



Baby Carrots with Sweet Ginger Butter image

Provided by Claire Robinson

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds fresh baby carrots, cleaned, tops trimmed to 1/2-inch
Sea salt, or other good finishing salt
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons finely diced crystallized ginger
Freshly ground white pepper

Steps:

  • In a shallow saucepan, over low heat, add the carrots and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring the water to a simmer. Cover them with a parchment round set over and touching the simmering water to get a perfect steam. Remove carrots from the water when they are almost fork tender and drain.
  • In a medium saute pan, over low heat, add the butter and stir in the chopped crystallized ginger. Allow the sugar from the ginger to melt into the butter, and then transfer the steamed carrots to the pan. Toss gently for approximately 2 minutes until the carrots are completely coated with the ginger butter. Finish with a pinch of salt and a crack of freshly ground white pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are small, firm, and have smooth skin. Avoid carrots that are limp, have blemishes, or are too large.
  • Peel and trim the carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the carrots. Then, trim the ends of the carrots.
  • Slice the carrots: Cut the carrots into thin slices. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help prevent the carrots from sticking.
  • Add the carrots to the skillet: Add the carrots to the skillet and cook over medium heat. Stir the carrots occasionally so that they cook evenly.
  • Add the butter and seasonings: Once the carrots are cooked through, add the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
  • Serve: Serve the carrots immediately.

Conclusion:

These sweet baby carrots are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying side dish, give these sweet baby carrots a try.
