BRAISED CARROTS WITH PARMESAN CHEESE



Braised Carrots With Parmesan Cheese image

This is one of those simple yet impossibly delicious recipes. Slowly cooking the carrots brings out a wonderful caramelized flavour. The recipe is from Marcella Hazan's Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking, where she prefaces the recipe with, "I know of no other preparation in the Italian repertory, or in other cuisines for that matter, more successful than this one in freeing the rich flavor that is locked inside the carrot". You can do the first 2 steps ahead of time, and then just rewarm in a pan with the Parmesan before serving. The recipe is supposed to serve 6, but they are so yummy, you may only get 3 servings. Enjoy!

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 lbs carrots (about 12 medium carrots)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
salt

Steps:

  • Peel the carrots, wash them in cold water, and slice them into 3/8 inch disks. The thin tapered ends can be cut thicker. Choose a saute pan that can contain the carrot rounds spread in a single snug layer, without overlapping. Put in the carrots and butter, and enough water to come ¼ inch up the sides. If you do not have a single pan large enough, use two smaller ones, dividing the carrots and butter equally between them. Turn on the heat to medium. Do not cover the pan.
  • Cook until the water has evaporated, then add salt and the ¼ teaspoon of sugar. Continue cooking, adding from 2 to 3 tablespoons water as needed. Your objective is to end up with well-browned, wrinkled carrot disks, concentrated in flavor and texture. It will take between 1 and 1½ hours, during which time you much watch them, even while you do other things in the kitchen. Stop adding water when they begin to reach the wrinkled, browned stage, because there must be no liquid left at the end. In 30 minutes or a little more, the carrots will become so reduced in bulk that, if you have been using two pans, you will be able to combine them in a single pan.
  • When done - they should be very tender - add the grated Parmesan, turn the carrots over completely once or twice, transfer them to a warm platter, and serve at once.

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).

STOVETOP-BRAISED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS



Stovetop-Braised Carrots and Parsnips image

In this simple side dish, carrots and parsnips are simmered in a few pats of butter and a splash of water until tender, then hit with a dash of lemon juice and a sprinkling of fresh herbs. Use the smallest carrots and parsnips you can find; the smaller, the sweeter.

Provided by Mark Bittman And Sam Sifton

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds carrots, peeled, trimmed and halved if more than 1/2-inch thick
2 pounds parsnips, peeled, trimmed and halved if more than 1/2-inch thick
4 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
Freshly squeezed lemon juice
Chopped fresh parsley, dill, mint, basil or chervil leaves for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except lemon juice and garnish in a skillet with a cover; add a quarter cup of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and adjust heat so mixture simmers gently. Check every few minutes and add more water if necessary.
  • Cook until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is almost gone, about a half-hour. Uncover and boil off remaining liquid if necessary, then taste and adjust seasoning, adding lemon juice as needed. Garnish and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, firm carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. Younger carrots will be sweeter and more tender.
  • Cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: The carrots should be in a single layer in the pot. If they are too crowded, they will not cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid will add flavor to the carrots. You can use vegetable broth, chicken broth, or even water. If you are using water, you can add some herbs, spices, or a bay leaf for extra flavor.
  • Cook the carrots until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the carrots. You can check if they are done by piercing them with a fork. They should be tender, but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Garnish with Parmesan cheese: Grated Parmesan cheese is a classic garnish for braised carrots. It adds a rich, nutty flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Braised carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from a weeknight dinner to a holiday feast. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and elegant. So next time you are looking for a simple but delicious side dish, give braised carrots a try. You won't be disappointed!
