BAKED BARLEY RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARROTS



Baked Barley Risotto With Mushrooms and Carrots image

Wholesome and nutty, barley is a superb alternative to arborio rice in this risotto, since it's naturally plump and chewy when cooked. The grated Parmesan and butter stirred in at the end release the barley's starches, creating a silky, creamy texture. Make sure to use pearl barley, not hulled, since it cooks much faster and is more tender. As for the mushrooms, white button, cremini and earthy shiitakes are a tasty, accessible mix, though any combination of oyster, king trumpet and maitake would raise the bar. Still, the best thing about this risotto, which is a satisfying vegetarian weeknight dinner (or side to any large roast or fish) is that it's baked, taking away the pressure of constant stirring at the stove.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small white or yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 pound mixed mushrooms, such as white button, cremini and shiitakes, halved if small, quartered if large (about 7 cups total)
Kosher salt and black pepper
10 ounces pearl barley (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 medium carrot, very thinly sliced into rounds (about 1 cup)
2 ounces grated Parmesan (about 1/2 cup), plus more for serving
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped chives

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add onion and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms start to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in barley, carrot and 4 1/2 cups water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, transfer to the oven and bake until barley is tender and chewy and almost all of the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes.

BAKED FARMER SAUSAGE, POTATOES, AND CARROTS WITH GRAVY



Baked Farmer Sausage, Potatoes, and Carrots With Gravy image

This used to be the traditional Mennonite Sunday lunch at our house -- it has since become more likely at supper, but it's just as traditional and just as delicious! I'm not sure where farmer sausage is all available or whether it's one of those local specialties just available in Manitoba, so I've posted a recipe for that as well for those of you who make your own sausages. (#184513) If you can't buy it nearby or make it yourself, I'm terribly sorry -- you're definitely missing out! This recipe is for those of you who can.

Provided by Swan Valley Tammi

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs frozen farmer sausage
4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
8 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 3-4 pieces each
sausage drippings
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • If desired, peel frozen farmer sausage. (The best way is to hold it under a trickle of warm water.) Break sausage into 4-6 chunks.
  • Place potatoes and carrots into a roaster or large casserole dish. Add water to cover the bottom of the dish.
  • Place frozen sausage chunks over top (so drippings will flavour the vegetables), cover, and bake at 375F for 1-1/2 hours.
  • Remove from oven and drain juices from casserole dish into a saucepan. (You may want to put the sausage and vegetables in a serving dish now and keep warm in the oven.).
  • For gravy: Mix flour and milk together, adding milk gradually so a paste forms and slowly gets thicker -- you don't want lumps! (Actually, a Tupperware gravy shaker works best for this. You can just throw it all together and shake it up without worrying about lumps at all.).
  • Add milk mixture to drippings and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until gravy is thickened. (Depending on how much water content your sausage had, you may need to add a little more flour or milk to achieve the desired thickness.).
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Time 35m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Steps:

  • Combine butter, 1/4 t zest, 1 t garlic, thyme, 1/4 t salt, and 1/8 t pepper in small bowl. Combine parsley, remaining t zest, and remaining t garlic in another small bowl; set aside. Place carrots and leeks in medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss together.
  • Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 450°Fs. Cut eight 12 inch sheets of foil; arrange four flat on counter. Divide carrot and leek mixture among foil sheets, mounding in center of each. Pour 1 T vermouth over each mound of vegetables. Pat fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper and place one fillet on top of each vegetable mound. Spread quarter of butter mixture on top of each fillet. Place second square of foil on top of fish; crimp edges together in 1/2 inch fold, the fold over three more times to create a packet about 7 inches square. Place packets on rimmed baking sheet (overlapping slightly if necessary).
  • Bake packets 15 minutes. Carefully open foil, allowing steam to escape away from you. Using thin metal spatula, gently slide fish and vegetables onto plate with any accumulated juices; sprinkle with parsley mixture. Served immediately, passing lemon wedges separately.

OVEN-BAKED TENDER CARROTS



Oven-baked Tender Carrots image

I came up with this recipe so that I could make carrots with roast. I cook my roast in the crock pot, but don't like to cook my veggies with it, as they soak up all of the juice and end up with a terrible flavor. So I kind of came up with my own recipe, and it works great. Now I use this recipe any time I want to have carrots as a side dish with dinner. It goes well with lots of meat dishes, and it's easy to make. If you don't want to mess with peeling and chopping carrots, use baby carrots. I use the same recipe with potatoes, but they don't need to cook as long. If you are making this with roast or any other meat that has made its own broth, you can use that instead of beef broth from the can. I always eyeball this recipe so the measurements are approximations.

Provided by Lydias Mama

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb carrot, peeled and sliced into round chunks
3/4 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons butter
garlic powder
other seasoning, as desired

Steps:

  • Place carrots in oven-safe baking dish with lid.
  • Pour in some beef broth (I tend to eyeball it, but the more carrots, the more broth you want--anywhere from 1/2 c to 1 c).
  • Add salt, pepper, garlic any seasonings you wish and stir to coat carrots in seasonings and broth.
  • Add the butter on top.
  • Cover, and cook at 400 degrees for 45 min-1 hour, depending on how many carrots you are making. When they are done, the carrots will be soft and tender enough to poke a fork through easily.
  • Follow the same recipe for potatoes, but allow less cooking time.

This is something I just whipped up over the Christmas Holidays. Try to use larger carrots. My MIL loved it so much that she even asked me to write down the recipe. Hope you enjoy it as much as she did!

Provided by CulinaryQueen

Categories     Onions

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
2 onions, diced
5 -6 carrots
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dill
1/8 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Grease the bottom and sides of a covered casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
  • Melt the other tablespoon of butter in a skillet and slowly cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender.
  • Preheat oven to 180C/350°F.
  • While the onions cook, peel and THINLY slice the carrots and put them into the buttered casserole dish. The slices should be about the thickness of a nickel (or a pound coin in the UK). If they are too thick, they will take longer than noted to cook.
  • When the onions are cooked, add them to the carrots and mix them around a bit.
  • In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, honey, paprika, garlic powder, dill, cayenne (if using), melted butter, salt and pepper.
  • Pour this mixture over the carrots, cover and bake for one hour. Remove from oven and test to see that carrots are firm but tender. If need be, return to oven and cook an additional 5-15 minutes.
  • Enjoy now because I can almost guarantee that you won't have any leftovers!

ZIPPY BAKED CARROTS SIDE DISH



Zippy Baked Carrots Side Dish image

Considering how fast our five children and 16 grandkids finish off these cheesy carrots at Sunday suppers, the "Zippy" in the title is appropriate! I came from a clan of avid cookers. At age 85, my mom's worked her way through every one of our recipe books from cover to cover!

Provided by Taste of Home

Categories     Side Dishes

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings.

4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 cups milk
TOPPING:
1 cup soft bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Steps:

  • On stovetop or in a microwave oven, blanch the carrots in covered dish until tender-crisp. Layer half of the carrots in shallow 2-qt. baking pan; cover with half of the cheese. Repeat layers.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and brightly colored. Avoid carrots that are limp, wrinkled, or have blemishes.
  • Peel the carrots if desired: Peeling the carrots is not necessary, but it will give them a more refined look. If you do peel the carrots, be sure to use a sharp peeler to avoid wasting any of the carrot.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. The size and shape of the carrot pieces is up to you, but try to cut them into pieces that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
  • Toss the carrots with oil and seasonings: This will help them to brown and caramelize in the oven. You can use any type of oil you like, but olive oil or avocado oil are good choices. As for seasonings, you can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other herbs or spices that you like.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender and slightly browned: The roasting time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the carrot pieces. Start checking them after about 20 minutes and continue roasting until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
