Kerrys Carrot Red Wine Reduction Food

KERRY'S CARROT-RED WINE REDUCTION

Steps:

• Bring wine to a boil in a large saucepan set over high heat, and lower heat to a simmer. Cook wine until syrupy and reduced to 3/4 cup, about 20 minutes.
• Place carrots in a small saucepan. Cover with water, adding a pinch of salt. Cook, covered, until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, reserving the cooking liquid. Transfer the carrots to a blender or food processor, and puree, adding a bit of the cooking liquid if the mixture is too thick.
• Transfer the reduced wine to a bowl, and stir about 1/2 cup of the carrot puree into it. If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of the reserved carrot cooking water. Adjust seasoning, and whisk in butter.

RED-WINE REDUCTION

Steps:

• Sauté onion, celery, carrots, and garlic in oil in a 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden, about 10 minutes. Add wines and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture is reduced to 1 quart, about 1 hour.
• Pour through a sieve into a saucepan and simmer until reduced to 2 cups. Reheat reduction and season with salt and pepper before using.

CARROTS SAUTEED IN WINE

Steps:

• In a wide frying pan, combine wine, broth and butter. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add carrots; reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stiring occasionally until carrots are tender when pierced (10 to 15 minutes).
• Uncover pan, bring cooking liquid to a boil over high heat. Boil, uncovered, stirring often, until liquid evaporates and the carrots begin to brown (about 10 minutes).

RED WINE AND MAPLE-GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook shallots, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes.
• Add chili powder, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, until chili powder is very fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add carrots, maple syrup, and wine and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Add vinegar and boil, uncovered, until liquid is reduced to a glaze, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in dill.
