OVEN-ROASTED CARROTS AND ONIONS
The dry heat of the oven caramelizes the natural sugars in vegetables, which brings about an amazing depth of flavor. Baby carrots vary in size depending on time of year and where they are grown, so check for doneness after 30 to 40 minutes.

SPICED ROASTED CARROTS AND ONION
After being tossed in a mixture of extra-virgin olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper, carrots and onions are roasted in a hot oven until they're slightly soft and caramelized. They shine in a salad like this Carrot, Avocado, and Feta with Spring Greens, or can be enjoyed as a simple side dish for roasted chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. In a large bowl, whisk together ras el hanout, honey, and oil. Cut carrots in half lengthwise, then again crosswise. (If there are extra-thick pieces, halve them again lengthwise, so all are about the same size.) Cut onion in half through its root, thencut each half lengthwise into thirds, making sure to keep root intact. Toss carrots and onion with oil mixture; season with salt and pepper.
- Spread vegetables in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, cut-sides down. Roast, undisturbed, until cut sides are golden brown and vegetables are tender, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool completely, then serve, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days. (Return to room temperature or gently rewarm before serving.)
ROASTED RED PEPPER RISOTTO
This is a delicious, authentic, creamy risotto based on a recipe from chef Jackie Cipriano. It is a bit time consuming due to the caramelization of the veggies and the stirring process, but well worth it. If you have dinner guests, they can all take turns stirring for some interactive kitchen fun!

Steps:
- Using a food processor, process the carrots and garlic together until finely minced.
- In a medium saucepan, saute carrot/garlic mixture and onions in olive oil.
- Add Galliano, salt, and pepper, and let caramelize (20-30 minutes) over low heat.
- While mixture is caramelizing, combine chicken stock, vegetable stock, and roasted red pepper puree and bring to a simmer.
- Add butter to caramelized veggies and let melt.
- Add rice, stirring to coat each grain.
- Cook 1-2 minutes.
- Add vermouth and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until all alcohol is evaporated.
- Add stock/pepper puree mixture one cup at a time and simmer, stirring constantly, until liquid is absorbed.
- Do not add any additional liquid until the previous liquid has been absorbed!
- Stir constantly, as this encourages release of the rice starch, creating the creamy texture.
- You may not need all of the stock mixture, or you may need to supplement with additional stock.
- Taste the mixture frequently and adjust with salt and pepper, but remember you will be adding cheese (which is salty) towards the end.
- When the rice is nearly done, add the vinegar.
- Adjust seasonings and add the oregano and tarragon.
- When the risotto has reached the correct texture (grains of rice will swell, rice should be al dente but not crunchy or chalky), remove from heat and stir in the cheese, adding more broth if necessary.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Peel carrots and onions. Cut onions in quarters, leaving root ends in tact, so that they hold the quarters together. Cut carrots into 2 - 3" pieces, and if the carrots are really fat, cut them lengthwise into halvves or quarters. (You can adjust the quanitities of everything -- it's just that the program here wants specifics.).
- Put them onto a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan and drizzle with olive oil and salt and mix them with your hands so that they are lightly coated. The pan does really matter here -- if you use something with sides, they steam rather than roast.
- Roast for 15 minutes, turn and roast for 15 - 30 minutes more. At this point, they should be cooked, but they can go longer if they're not done. they should be crisp/tender (if they go longer, they get soft, which I'm starting to like, too) and have browned spots on them.

Steps:
- Risotto: Strain the stock to yield 6 cups (add water to the stock if necessary) and place in stock pot over low heat to simmer. Finely dice the onion half; then peel and mince the garlic. In a skillet, heat olive oil to rippling, add onions and garlic, and cook until onions are translucent, 3-5 minutes. Add the rice and stir to toast. Continue to move it around the pan so it doesn't stick to the bottom, about 7 minutes.
- When the rice has grown translucent from absorbing the oil, add wine and stir until it evaporates; do the same with the lemon juice. Once the pan is fairly dry, slowly ladle the simmering carrot stock into the rice in one-cup increments (rice and stock need to be same temperature). Stir until the liquid has been incorporated before adding the next cup. Don't rush it: you want to let the carrot flavor slowly develop. (This is the trick to cooking risotto: take it slow!)
- When you have two cups of stock left in the saucepan, pour the carrot juice into the stock and stir until it's incorporated. Then, add the next cup of the carrot juice/stock mixture to the rice and incorporate. When you have one cup of the mixture left, stir the diced carrots into the rice before adding the final cup of liquid.
- Finish the dish: When the rice looks creamy and there's no liquid sloshing around, add salt, butter, and half of the Pecorino. (Omit butter and Pecorino for vegan eaters.) Spoon onto a serving plate, sprinkle with the thyme and remaining Pecorino, and serve.
- Peel, trim, and roughly chop the onion and carrots, and roughly chop celery; add to stock pot. Smash garlic cloves to remove peel, then add to pot. Add water, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Strain and reserve liquid, discarding solids.

ROASTED CARROT AND RED LENTIL RAGOUT
Somehow, over the centuries, the word ragout (which in 17th-century France meant anything that stimulated appetite) has come to signify a dish of sturdy consolation. Nearly any simmered food, be it meat, vegetable, fish or fowl, can be called a ragout, although in France, it is generally assumed that the main ingredients will be of a uniform chunk cut into slightly smaller than bite-size pieces. This spicy carrot and lentil ragout can be served first as a main course and later extended with coconut milk or chicken broth to make a soup. Serve it over rice to temper the heat.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lay the carrots in a roasting pan and toss with 3 tablespoons oil. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Roast for 20 minutes. Turn the carrots, add the onion and roast 15 minutes, until the carrots are brown and tender. When carrots are cool enough, cut them in 1/4-inch dice.
- Warm 2 tablespoons oil in a saucepan. Add the carrot-and-onion mixture, the chili powders and the cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the lentils. Add the stock and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes, until the lentils are falling apart. Season with remaining salt and pepper to taste. Serve with rice, or as a thick soup.

Tips:
- Choose the right rice. Arborio rice is the traditional choice for risotto, as it has a high starch content that helps create a creamy texture. However, you can also use other short-grain rices, such as Carnaroli or Vialone Nano.
- Toast the rice before adding the liquid. This helps to bring out the rice's nutty flavor and prevent it from sticking together.
- Add the liquid gradually. Don't dump all of the liquid into the rice at once. Instead, add it in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help the rice absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Cook the risotto until it is al dente. Risotto should be cooked until it is tender, but still has a slight bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy.
- Stir in the cheese and butter at the end. This will help to create a creamy and flavorful risotto.
- Serve the risotto immediately. Risotto is best served hot and fresh. If you let it sit for too long, it will start to lose its creamy texture.
Conclusion:
Roasted Carrot and Onion Risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover roasted carrots and onions. With its creamy texture and flavorful ingredients, this risotto is sure to please everyone at the table.
