7 Minute Steamed Carrots With Herbs Food

CARROTS

Steps:

• Carrots boiled with orange, garlic and herbs: Boil the carrots in salted boiling water with a tablespoon of sugar, a knob of butter and a little handful of fragrant herbs, tied up. Parsley, rosemary, thyme, bay - use just one or a mixture. Cut an orange into eighths and add them to the water, along with a few whole garlic cloves in their skins. If you really want to be a little tiger, add a pinch of cumin as well (seeds or ground) - it subtly cuts through with the most wonderful flavour. As soon as the carrots are cooked, drain them, discard the herbs and all but one of the orange pieces, squeeze the garlic out of its skin, chop the remaining orange piece finely and toss with the carrots, some seasoning and a little more butter. The flavour will be incredible.
• Another idea is to fry the chopped-up orange in a good tablespoon of sugar, so it almost jammifies, and serve this on top of the carrots. These two flavours together are one of the coolest things.
• Or, roasted carrots with orange, garlic and thyme: just as easy - as soon as you drain the carrots you can throw them into a baking tray with the chopped-up orange and the garlic cloves and roast them at 200°C/400°F/gas 6 for 10 minutes - this will give you a slightly meatier flavour.
• Or simply mash the carrots up with the orange and garlic, so you have some coarse and some smooth. Lovely.

ROASTED CARROTS WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel the carrots and trim off all but about 1/2 inch of the tops. Stack the carrots on a large piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay the rosemary, sage and thyme on top.
• Bring the ends of the foil together, fold over and crimp to seal into a tight package. Put on a baking sheet and roast until tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Carefully open the package and transfer the carrots with any accumulated juices to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the parsley and a pinch of salt.

EASY STEAMED CARROTS

Steps:

• Add 1.5 inches of water to a saucepan and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
• Peel the carrots, cut off the ends, cut them in half crosswise and then cut the fat halves in half lengthwise, as shown in the video below. Your goal is to achieve fairly equal-sized chunks of carrot. Place the prepared carrots in the steamer basket.
• When the water boils, carefully place the steamer basket in the saucepan, cover, and steam the carrots until just tender - check with a fork, and start checking after 10 minutes. Also, keep an eye on the water to make sure they don't completely evaporate.
• Remove the carrots from the steamer onto a serving plate. Drizzle them with melted butter and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

BUTTERY COOKED CARROTS

Steps:

• Cook carrots in a large pot of boiling water until tender. Drain off most of the liquid, leaving bottom of pan covered with water. Set the carrots aside.
• Stir margarine and brown sugar into the water. Simmer and stir until the margarine melts. Return carrots to the pot, and toss to coat. Cover, and let sit for a few minutes to allow flavors to mingle.

STEAMED CARROTS AND MINT

Cover pan and steam over high heat until carrots are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes, depending on size. Transfer carrots to bowl; toss with butter and chopped mint. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and pepper and serve.

CARROTS WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Wash, peel, and trim the carrots and then cut them in half crosswise. Halve the carrots lengthwise if they are quite large.
• Heat the olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the carrots in the pan in a single layer. Sprinkle with chopped onion, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Turn the carrots and continue cooking for about 15 minutes longer, or until fork-tender. The liquid should have cooked off and the carrots should be showing some caramelization at the end of the cooking time.
• Sprinkle the ​carrots with the fresh herbs. Squeeze 2 of the orange wedges over the carrots.
• Toss to coat thoroughly and serve with remaining orange wedges.

CARROTS SEASONED WITH HERBS

Steps:

• In a mini food processor or a blender, combine the garlic, oregano, cumin seeds, coriander, and pepper flakes. Add the vinegar and grind to a paste. In a thin stream, drizzle in the olive oil and blend until the mixture is emulsified. Set aside while you cook the carrots. In a medium heavy saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until beginning to soften. Add the water, sugar (if desired), salt, and pepper and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, for about 5 more minutes, or until the carrots are just tender but not mushy. Add a little more water to the pan if necessary. Transfer the carrots to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon and immediately add the herb dressing. Toss together and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Leave the carrots to marinate for 2 to 3 hours, and when ready to serve, stir in the parsley. Serve at room temperature, on tiny plates or ramekins.
