ZUCCHINI AND CARROTS WITH GARLIC AND HERBS



Zucchini and Carrots With Garlic and Herbs image

I 'adopted' this recipe in August 2005. I have made it and think it is a great recipe as written. I hope you like it as much as I did. I also found it went well with a little lite sour cream spooned on top of each serving for a change. The following words come from the original person who posted this recipe: "A nice summer-time side dish. I suggest cutting the zucchini a bit larger than the carrots, since it cooks faster. Substitute dried herbs if you don't have fresh."

ZESTY CARROTS



Zesty Carrots image

This is an easy-to-make family favorite and has always been served as a side dish at our Thanksgiving dinners. Don't let the horseradish scare you. It merely adds a tangy flavor. You can use pre-made bread crumbs to make it even easier. Light mayo works fine and so does cooking spray on the casserole dish in place of butter.

Provided by Jeff Cummings

Categories     Side Dish     Casseroles

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 carrots, julienned
1 teaspoon butter
2 tablespoons grated onion
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons creamy-style horseradish sauce
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ cup bread crumbs
½ teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Place the carrots in a saucepan with about 1 inch of water in the bottom. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Place the carrots in the dish. In a medium bowl, stir together the onion, mayonnaise, horseradish, pepper, paprika and bread crumbs. Spread evenly over the carrots.
  • Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh vegetables: Use young, tender zucchini and carrots for the best texture and flavor.
  • Julienne the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly and create a more attractive dish.
  • Use a sharp knife: This will make it easier to julienne the vegetables and prevent them from tearing.

  • Serve the vegetables immediately: This is when they will be at their best, both in terms of flavor and texture.
