ROSH HASHANAH RECIPES: CARROT TZIMMES

Steps:

• Heat the butter or oil in a large shallow saute pan over medium heat. (Butter will give the richest taste, but if you observe Jewish dietary laws, or have a child allergic to dairy, olive oil works fine.)
• Toss the carrot "coins" in the fat to coat them.
• Add honey, cinnamon, orange juice and stir to combine.
• Turn the heat down to a simmer, cover the saute pan and cook until the carrots are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Remove cover and add raisins.
• Turn the heat up to medium and reduce the sauce until it is a syrupy glaze about 3-5 more minutes. Season well with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the butter or oil in a large shallow sauté pan over medium heat. (Butter will give the richest taste, but if you observe Jewish dietary laws and want to serve this at a meat meal, or have a child allergic to dairy, olive oil works fine.) Toss the carrot "coins" in the fat to coat them. Add honey, cinnamon, orange juice and stir to combine.
• Turn the heat down to a simmer, cover the sauté pan and cook until the carrots are tender, about five minutes. Remove cover and add raisins. Turn the heat up to medium and reduce the sauce until it is a syrupy glaze about three to five more minutes. Season well with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

TZIMMES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat and then add the carrots, sweet potatoes and onions. Sauté, stirring frequently, until lightly browned all over, about 8 minutes. Spread the vegetables evenly in a 9-by-13-inch casserole and tuck the ginger, apricots and prunes around the dish.
• Add the vegetable broth and honey to a small bowl and whisk together to combine. Pour over the fruits and vegetables, then submerge the cinnamon stick. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and braise for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, stir the mixture and continue cooking (uncovered) until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is reduced and thickened to a syrupy consistency, about 30 minutes more.
• Break the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small pieces, dot over the top and gently stir to coat the vegetable mixture in the reduced sauce. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and a light shake of cinnamon. Serve topped with mint and parsley.
