GLAZED CARROTS

Could these carrots be any easier? You could, of course, throw them in the oven, slathered with oil salt and pepper, or you try Pierre Franey's approach. Here, he slices them, adding salt, pepper, butter, cumin and scallions, and lets them simmer in water for about 10 minutes. With that, they're done, and ready to be paired with many a weeknight meal.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm carrots for pickling. Younger, thinner carrots tend to have a more tender texture and fewer blemishes.
  • To ensure even cooking, cut the carrots into uniform-sized pieces. This also helps them absorb the pickling solution more evenly.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs to infuse the carrots with flavor. Classic choices include garlic, dill, and mustard seeds, but you can also experiment with other favorites like ginger, coriander, or fennel.
  • Bring the pickling solution to a boil before pouring it over the carrots. This helps to dissolve the sugar and spices and ensures that the carrots are properly preserved.
  • Allow the carrots to cool completely in the pickling solution before transferring them to a jar or container. This helps them to absorb the flavors and prevents them from becoming mushy.
  • Store the pickled carrots in a cool, dark place, such as a refrigerator or pantry.

Conclusion:

Preserved glazed carrots are a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you prefer them sweet, sour, or spicy, there is a pickled carrot recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your meal, give pickled carrots a try.
