Categories     side dish

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds carrots, peeled and trimmed, sliced on the bias 1/3-inch thick
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
1/4 cup grade A medium amber or dark amber maple syrup
1 tablespoon lime juice
Coarse sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour cold tap water into a large pot fitted with a steamer basket to a depth of 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, add the carrots, cover and cook just until the carrots have lightened in color and are barely tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Preheat the broiler with a rack set about 4 inches from the heat. In a large ovenproof skillet, melt the butter until frothy and add the shallot and lime zest. Sauté, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the shallot is translucent, but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add the carrots, maple syrup, lime juice and a pinch of salt and stir to coat. When the mixture begins to bubble, continue to simmer 6 to 8 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half and is syrupy.
  • Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until the edges of the carrots have just begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Finish the dish with a sprinkling of salt and a few coarse grinds of black pepper.

Glazed Carrots with Saffron and Lime image

Crushed saffron adds a floral dimension to this easy stovetop carrot dish, and lime juice-lively and more fragrant than lemon-wakes everything up. The dish's mix of shapes and colors, from pale yellow to deepest purple, looks stunning on the dinner table, too.
