GLAZED CARROTS WITH ORANGE AND GINGER



Glazed Carrots With Orange and Ginger image

When carrots are cooked, it's often a sad affair. They are boiled to death and presented almost as an apology. Yet when they're treated with the respect they deserve, even ordinary supermarket carrots can be among the most reliable and enjoyable of vegetables, especially from fall through spring. This braise-and-glaze technique can be varied at will and can also be used with other roots, like beets, turnips and radishes. Once you have the hang of the technique, changing the flavorings is a snap. Try substituting a mixture of half balsamic vinegar, half water or soy sauce similarly diluted for the orange juice, adding a few cloves of peeled garlic with the carrots. Or add a half cup or so of chopped onions, shallots, scallions or leeks, or of chopped pitted dates or raisins, dried currants or even dried tomatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender carrots. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
  • Peel the carrots before cooking. This will help the carrots to cook evenly and will also remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the carrots into bite-sized pieces. This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or saucepan. This will help to prevent the carrots from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Add enough water to cover the carrots. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer the carrots for 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • Drain the carrots and rinse them with cold water. This will stop the cooking process and help to keep the carrots bright and colorful.
  • Add the carrots to a bowl and toss them with the orange segments, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir until the carrots are evenly coated.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate the carrots for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the carrots chilled or at room temperature.
