Glazed Carrots With Saffron And Lime Food

GLAZED SALMON WITH SPICED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Lightly oil the broiler pan. Toss the carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl, then spread out on one side of the pan. Broil until the carrots begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, the honey, mustard and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a small bowl. Brush the tops and sides of the salmon with the glaze. Put the salmon, skin-side down, on the other side of the broiler pan next to the carrots and season with salt and pepper. Broil until the salmon is golden brown and just cooked through and the carrots are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon each olive oil and lime juice, the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, mint and almonds in a bowl. Add the carrots and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Serve the salmon with the carrots and lime wedges.

MAPLE-AND-LIME-GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Pour cold tap water into a large pot fitted with a steamer basket to a depth of 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, add the carrots, cover and cook just until the carrots have lightened in color and are barely tender, about 4 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler with a rack set about 4 inches from the heat. In a large ovenproof skillet, melt the butter until frothy and add the shallot and lime zest. Sauté, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the shallot is translucent, but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add the carrots, maple syrup, lime juice and a pinch of salt and stir to coat. When the mixture begins to bubble, continue to simmer 6 to 8 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half and is syrupy.
• Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until the edges of the carrots have just begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Finish the dish with a sprinkling of salt and a few coarse grinds of black pepper.

GLAZED CARROTS WITH SAFFRON AND LIME

Steps:

• Crush saffron in pinch of sugar with a mortar and pestle or your fingertips, until broken up. Place in a small bowl with boiling water; let bloom about 5 minutes.
• Fill a large skillet about halfway with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat; season generously with salt. Add carrots in a single layer; cover and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain; transfer carrots to a plate.
• Return skillet to medium heat and add butter. When foam subsides, return carrots to skillet with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, saffron water, lime juice, and a large pinch of salt. Cook, shaking pan occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly and coats carrots, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; add lime zest and a drizzle of oil. Season to taste; serve warm or at room temperature.

CHILI-LIME ROASTED CARROTS

Steps:

• Toss 1 1/2 pounds peeled carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a big pinch of salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast at 450˚ F until tender and browned, about 25 minutes. Whisk 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon each olive oil and lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon chili powder; season with salt. Drizzle over the carrots; sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco, roasted pepitas and cilantro.

Steps:

• In a small skillet, combine the broth, water, butter, brown sugar, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the carrots, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until just tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Uncover the pan and let the liquid cook down until it reduces to a glaze, about 2 to 3 minutes. Toss the carrots to generously coat them with the glaze. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

FESTIVE HONEY-GLAZED ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES WITH SAFFRON

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6.
• Take a large roasting tray, one that will take the vegetables in one layer, and add the olive oil to it, then heat the oil in the oven for about 5 minutes until very hot.
• Take the tray out and add the prepared vegetables immediately, tossing them around to get a good coating of oil, put them back in the oven and roast them for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat up the honey in a small saucepan or in the microwave and add the softened saffron threads or saffron powder - mix well.
• After 30 minutes, take the vegetables out and add the honey and saffron, pouring over the vegetables and turning them around to make sure that all have an even coating of the mixture.
• Sprinkle the cumin seeds, celery seeds, sea salt and black pepper to taste over the top and give them a quick mix again, before putting them back into the oven for a further 20 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft, glazed and tinged brown at the edges.
• Serve them in an attractive serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped lovage or parsley.
• I have allowed one of each vegetable per serving, this may be too generous - please adjust the quantities to suit what else you may be serving alongside these vegetables!
