Red Wine And Maple Glazed Carrots Food

GLAZED BABY CARROTS WITH BOURBON AND MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Add the baby carrots along with some salt and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• In a small saute pan, add the butter, whisky and maple syrup and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat to a strong simmer and let the mixture reduce until thick and syrupy, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the carrots and saute them until well glazed and just starting to color, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the carrots to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Cut the carrots in thirds crosswise. Then cut each piece lengthwise into halves or fourths, depending on the width of the carrots. This should create spears that have at least one flat side.
• Add the oil to a cast-iron skillet and heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place the carrots in the oil cut-sides down and cook without turning until tender, about 6 minutes. The cut sides will be very, very dark. Some may even call it burnt. Don't worry, it'll taste great!
• Add the honey, togarashi and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and stir up all the carrots. Cook, stirring constantly, until most of the water has cooked off and the carrots are coated. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the chopped parsley. (This will add a fresh flavor and it looks really pretty.)
• Serve right away to your impressed and amazed friends!

MAPLE-BRAISED CARROTS

Steps:

• Trim and peel 1 1/2 pounds carrots; halve lengthwise and crosswise. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons grated ginger and cook 30 seconds. Add the carrots, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 4 strips lemon zest, 2 thyme sprigs, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, a pinch of cayenne and 1/2 cup water; stir. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until tender but still saucy, 15 minutes. Discard the thyme; top with chopped chives.

MAPLE-MUSTARD GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Peel and cut the carrots into batons. (You can do this up to 24 hours ahead and keep them in a polythene bag in the fridge.) Tip them into a pan, pour in enough boiling water just to cover, bring back to the boil, then put a lid on the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes until the carrots are just tender.
• Meanwhile, put the butter and maple syrup in a small pan. Heat until the butter is melted then stir in the mustard. Take off the heat. Drain the carrots and tip into a warmed serving dish.
• Pour the warm maple glaze over the carrots. Taste and adjust seasoning to suit.

Turn down the heat and cook until the carrots and parsnips are starting to caramelise and turn a light golden brown.
