This recipe produces fabulous sweet & sour carrots. The molasses lends a real depth and complexity of flavour. Recipe is from Bon Appétit Magazine (December 2008). I think it would work really well with parsnips too.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons butter
3 lbs baby carrots (5-6 inches long) or 3 lbs medium carrots, peeled, trimmed (halved & cut into 5-inch pieces)
2 tablespoons light molasses, divided
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt (or more)
6 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar or 6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley, divided

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy extra-large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, 1 tablespoon molasses, and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt; sauté until carrots are coated with butter mixture, about 1 minute. Add 4 tablespoons vinegar and enough water to almost cover carrots (about 3-4 cups) and bring to boil. Cover and boil 2 minutes. Uncover and boil until liquid is reduced to syrup and carrots are tender, stirring often, about 20 minutes.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon molasses and 2 tablespoons vinegar to carrots and toss over medium-high heat until carrots are heated through and thickly coated with glaze, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon parsley. Season carrots to taste with more coarse salt and generous amount of ground black pepper. Transfer carrots to large bowl; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, cut the carrots into uniform-sized pieces.
  • For a sweeter glaze, use a higher ratio of pomegranate molasses to olive oil.
  • If you don't have pomegranate molasses, you can substitute balsamic vinegar or honey.
  • Feel free to add other spices and herbs to the glaze, such as cumin, coriander, or thyme.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Serve the carrots immediately, while they are still warm and glazed.

Conclusion:

Pomegranate molasses glazed carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy glaze complements the earthy flavor of the carrots, and the roasted carrots are tender and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
