Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons canola oil
4 medium lamb shanks (about 1/2 pound each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper plus 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
16 small carrots, split lengthwise
12 large cloves garlic
4 small parsnips, split lengthwise
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 cup dry vermouth
8 cups beef stock
1/4 cup yellow miso paste
1/4 cup grainy mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 cup fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat a Dutch oven over high heat and add the oil. Sprinkle the lamb on all sides with salt and pepper. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, use a pair of metal tongs to arrange the lamb in a single layer in the hot oil. Brown the lamb on all sides, 12 to 15 minutes total. Remove the lamb to a medium bowl.
  • Stir the onions into the grease and sprinkle them lightly with salt. Cook until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the carrots, garlic and parsnips. Season with salt and add the brown sugar. Cook until the vegetables become slightly tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the vermouth and cook until all of the liquid cooks out, an additional 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the beef stock, miso paste and mustard. Add the lamb back into the stew. Cover and place in the center of the oven. Cook until the meat is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  • Use a large spoon to skim any excess fat or impurities from the surface of the sauce. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the vinegar. Allow to rest for 15 minutes, then top with the coarsely ground pepper and parsley. Serve immediately.

Yield 8 Servings

3 pounds medium carrots, peeled
4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt
6 garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed, toasted and coarsely ground
2 teaspoons mild red pepper flakes, like Aleppo or Marash
2 teaspoons paprika, smoked or unsmoked.

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the carrots lengthwise, or quarter them if you wish. 2. Warm the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the carrots and turn them in the oil to coat. Season generously with salt. Add the garlic and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cover the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the carrots are just tender. 3. Remove the lid, raise the heat, and let any remaining water cook away. 4. Sprinkle the cumin, red pepper and paprika over the carrots and transfer them to an oven-proof serving dish. Serve hot or at room temperature. The carrots may be left at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours, or refrigerated and brought to room temperature, before reheating in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes.

BRAISED CARROTS



Braised Carrots image

Quick and easy. A German side dish favorite for fried meat or fish. Sweetness comes from cooking in butter and a little sugar. I only use enough sugar to support the natural sweetness of the carrots, not to actually sweeten them.

Provided by Inge 1505

Categories     Vegetable

Time 29m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs carrots, peeled
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4-3/4 cup hot water
2 tablespoons parsley or 2 tablespoons chervil, chopped

Steps:

  • Cut carrots into 1/8 in rounds or 1/4 in dice.
  • In a wide, low pot melt butter over medium heat, add carrots and cook about 3 minutes, stirring frequently until carrots have a "glazed" look.
  • Add, sugar and cook another minute.
  • Add salt and 1/4 cup hot water, cover, reduce heat to medium low and let cook until carrots are done, checking and stirring occasionally. Add a little more water if necessary to prevent sticking. Dish should be almost dry when done.
  • I usually cook for 10 minutes but cooking time can vary considerably due to age and sort of carrots as well as your your personal preference.
  • When done serve sprinkled with a little parsley or chervil (which is nice with fish).

ROASTED CARROTS WITH TURMERIC AND CUMIN



Roasted Carrots With Turmeric and Cumin image

These are based on Suzanne Goin's turmeric-spiced root vegetables from her wonderful new book "The A.O.C. Cookbook." I use her technique for roasting the carrots, and use the same spices she uses, but I make the dish with a little less olive oil and butter. Suzanne serves her mix of carrots, turnips, parsnips and rutabagas with Greek yogurt seasoned with makrut lime juice and zest, and mint chutney. They are also delicious on their own.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, appetizer, side dish

Time 40m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 medium carrots, peeled
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, lightly toasted
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or mild chili powder
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the carrots in half lengthwise and crosswise. If the carrots are fat at one end, cut the fat half in half again lengthwise, so that the pieces are more or less equal in thickness. Place in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper, and thyme leaves.
  • Heat a heavy baking sheet in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the carrots on it in one layer. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring the carrots every 10 minutes. They should be slightly caramelized and tender.
  • While the carrots are in the oven place the cumin and coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle and grind. Add the soft butter, turmeric and Aleppo pepper or chili powder and stir with the pestle until well amalgamated. Transfer to a large pan.
  • Remove the carrots from the oven when done and add to the pan with the spice butter and the mint. Toss together, taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve from the pan or transfer to a platter.
