Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Time 3h25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds beef chuck (preferably grass-fed), cut into 2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons berbere seasoning
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 carrots (8 ounces), peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Fresh mint leaves, for serving
Cooked couscous, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • Generously season beef with salt and pepper. Dust with flour and shake off excess. Heat a Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high, and swirl in 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Add half of beef in a single layer and cook, turning a few times, until browned in places, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving fat in pot. Brown remaining beef; transfer to plate.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Swirl remaining 1 tablespoon oil into pot, still over medium-high heat. Cook onion and bell pepper until onions are golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomato paste and berbere seasoning and cook, stirring frequently, until tomato paste is caramelized, 1 minute. Add Worcestershire sauce and wine; boil until mostly evaporated.
  • Return beef and any accumulated juices to pot along with broth. Bring to a boil. Cover pot, transfer to oven, and cook 1 1/2 hours. Remove pot from oven and stir carrots into stew. Cover and continue cooking in oven until beef is fork-tender and carrots are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour more. Stir in chickpeas; return to oven for 5 minutes more, just to heat through.
  • Ladle stew into shallow bowls, sprinkle with mint, and serve. Cooled stew can be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated up to 2 days, or frozen up to 3 months.

Glazed Salmon with Spiced Carrots image

Get ready for a fantastic one-pan dinner bursting with flavor. We broil this honey-mustard glazed salmon and serve it with carrots tossed in a spiced lime and almond dressing boosted with fresh mint.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan
1 pound carrots, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
4 6-ounce center-cut salmon fillets (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch of ground cinnamon

BERBERE-SPICED ROASTED CARROTS, CHICKPEAS AND ONIONS



Berbere-Spiced Roasted Carrots, Chickpeas and Onions image

This is one of my favorite sheet pan meals. The protein from the chickpeas makes it a complete meal, especially with a cooling dollop of Greek yogurt on the side. You could also use this as a side to roasted chicken or fish fillets or toss with hearty, leafy greens for a substantial fall or winter salad. Feel free to substitute other canned beans or vary the root vegetables (a few parsnips are really nice!) to suit your taste.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 pound medium carrots, peeled, ends trimmed (about 4)
1 large red onion, trimmed and cut into 1-inch dice
One 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Berbere, recipe follows
Kosher salt
5 tablespoons Berbere, recipe follows
1/4 cup red wine
2 tablespoons honey
Kosher salt
1/4 cup New Mexico chile powder
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • For the carrots and onions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F with a rimmed baking sheet on the bottom rack. To cut the carrots, hold a carrot at a 45-degree angle on your cutting board and slice a 1-inch chunk off, rotate the carrot a quarter turn and slice off another chunk. Continue to the end of the carrot and cut all of the carrots this way. (This is a "roll" or "oblique cut," a good technique for cutting long vegetables to give lots of surface area for browning.) Toss the carrots in a large bowl with the onion, chickpeas, olive oil, berbere and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread on the preheated baking sheet and roast until the vegetables are tender and nicely caramelized, about 25 minutes.
  • For the awaze sauce: While the carrots and onions roast, place the berbere in a small bowl. Stir in the red wine, honey and 1 teaspoon salt. The sauce should be thick but still able to drizzle. (This makes more awaze than you'll need for the recipe, but it keeps for up to a week in the fridge in an airtight container).
  • Mound the carrots and onions on a serving platter and drizzle with a few tablespoons of awaze sauce. Serve warm.
  • Combine all the spices in a small skillet. Toast over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool completely. This spice blend will keep, tightly sealed, in your pantry for several months. For longer storage, keep in the freezer. Makes about 1/2 cup.

CARIBBEAN ORANGE SPICED CARROTS



Caribbean Orange Spiced Carrots image

Caribbean - ZWT9 www.theperfectpantry.com - States that this originated in Jamaica and goes well with Jerk Chicken.

Provided by MomLuvs6

Categories     Vegetable

Time 26m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup mango juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
3 cups carrots, peeled and shredded (approximately 3 large carrots, shredded in food processor)
1/8 cup fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
1/8 cup fresh coriander, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a non-reactive saucepan, add the first 5 ingredients, bring to boil over medium-high heat and cook for 2 minutes, swirling the pan once or twice to dissolve the sugar.
  • Add carrots and stir. Cook 3 to 4 minutes until carrots are tender, but not limp.
  • Remove carrots from pan, into a serving dish, sprinkle with parsley and coriander.
  • Serve hot or at room temperature or cold.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and brightly colored. Avoid carrots that are limp, bruised, or have blemishes.
  • Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
  • Use a variety of spices: This will give the carrots a complex and flavorful taste. Some common spices that pair well with carrots include cumin, coriander, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the carrots will steam instead of roast. Make sure there is enough space between the carrots so that they can brown evenly.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious crispy texture.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: Spiced carrots are best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, for an extra pop of flavor.

Conclusion:

Spiced carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed on any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give spiced carrots a try. You won't be disappointed!
