ORANGE-HONEY GLAZED CARROTS



Orange-Honey Glazed Carrots image

From the "Barefoot Contessa At Home" by Ina Garten. Carrots that are not bagged are always sweeter than the bagged kind. "As vegetables go, carrots tend to be sweet, so I decided to add honey to bring out the sweetness and ginger to balance it with spice. Freshly grated orange zest gives the dish depth." This recipe is easily doubled etc. just use a larger sauté pan. The carrots may take a little longer to cook.

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds fresh carrots, sliced
2 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup orange juice
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Place an inch of water in a saucepan and add carrots.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Let simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
  • Drain the water when the carrots are done cooking and set aside.

  • Whisk in orange juice and brown sugar.
  • Fold in carrots and parsley and stir until carrots are evenly coated in glaze.
  • Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots. For this recipe, it's best to use young, tender carrots. They'll cook more quickly and evenly.
  • Peel and slice the carrots evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many carrots to the pan, they won't cook evenly.
  • Use a nonstick pan. This will help prevent the carrots from sticking.
  • Keep the heat on medium-high. This will help the carrots cook quickly and evenly.
  • Stir the carrots occasionally. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the carrots. They should be tender, but still have a slight crunch.
  • Add the peach-orange glaze at the end of cooking. This will help the glaze adhere to the carrots.
  • Serve the carrots immediately. They're best when served warm.
