CUMIN AND ORANGE GLAZED CARROTS

Categories     Side     Orange     Spice     Carrot     Simmer     Gourmet     Vegan     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 navel oranges
4 pounds medium carrots (24), peeled
3 1/2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 3/4 cups water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Special Equipment
parchment paper or wax paper

Steps:

  • Cut out a round from parchment paper to fit just inside a 12-inch heavy skillet (3 inches deep), then set round aside.
  • Cut peel, including all white pith, from oranges with a sharp paring knife. Working over a bowl, cut segments free from membranes, letting segments fall into bowl, then squeeze 1/2 cup juice from membranes into another bowl (discard membranes). Chop orange segments and reserve.
  • Cut a 1-inch-thick diagonal slice from a carrot and set aside, then roll carrot away from you 90 degrees and cut another 1-inch-thick diagonal slice. (Shape will resemble a trapezoidal log. If carrots are very thick, cut slices in half lengthwise as well). Cut up rest of carrot in same manner, then repeat with remaining carrots.
  • Heat oil in skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then add cumin seeds and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, water, orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cover carrots directly with parchment round and simmer, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Remove parchment, then continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is evaporated and carrots are tender and glazed, about 20 minutes more. Serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with chopped orange.

Tips:

  • Choose small, tender baby carrots for the best results.
  • Peeling the carrots is optional, but it will give them a more refined look.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to prevent the carrots from burning.
  • Be patient! The carrots will take some time to soften and caramelize.
  • If you don't have orange juice on hand, you can use white wine or water.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
  • Garnish the finished dish with fresh orange zest or chopped parsley.

Conclusion:

Baby carrot confit is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of mains. It's also a great way to use up leftover carrots. The orange juice and cumin give the carrots a sweet and savory flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook carrots, give this recipe a try!
