ORANGE-BRAISED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS image

Categories     Vegetable

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound carrots
1 pound thin parsnips
1/3 cup small-diced shallots ( 1 large)
2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 1/4 cups freshly squeezed orange juice, divided (3 oranges)
1/3 cup good olive oil
6 sprigs fresh them, tied with kitchen string
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Trim and scrub or peel the carrots and parsnips. If the parsnips are thick, slice them in half or quarters lengthwise so they are about the same width as the carrots. Place the carrots and parsnips in a pot or Dutch oven, thats large enough for the vegetables to lie flat. Add the shallots, orange zest, 3/4 cup of the orange juice, the olive oil, thyme, red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover tightly with a lid or heavy-duty foil. Transfer to the oven and cook for 1 1/2 hours, until the carrots and parsnips are very tender. Discard the thyme bundle. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of orange juice and the parsley and season to taste. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

I love the way the orange glaze caramelizes on the carrots and parsnips. It gives them a slightly crispy exterior and a delicious sticky glaze.

This is a great dish to make ahead of time. I often make it the night before and then reheat it the next day. It's just as good, if not better, the second time around.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I always have a few oranges lying around after I've made a batch of orange juice, and this recipe is a great way to use them up.

I'm a big fan of braised dishes, and this one is no exception. The carrots and parsnips are cooked low and slow, which allows the flavors to really meld together. The result is a dish that is both comforting and satisfying.
