BALSAMIC GREEN BEANS AND CARROTS WITH PEARL ONIONS



Balsamic Green Beans and Carrots With Pearl Onions image

This makes a VERY fancy looking side dish in less than 20 minutes! I prefer to use the fresh veggies in the steam-able bags you can find in the produce section, cuts down on the cooking time. I originally found this recipe in Cooking Light. However, I have added butter, garlic, more balsamic vinegar and carrots, so I am not sure if it is extremely "light" anymore, but it sure is good.

Oven-Roasted Carrots and Onions image

The dry heat of the oven caramelizes the natural sugars in vegetables, which brings about an amazing depth of flavor. Baby carrots vary in size depending on time of year and where they are grown, so check for doneness after 30 to 40 minutes.

MUSTARD-GLAZED CARROTS AND PEARL ONIONS



Mustard-Glazed Carrots and Pearl Onions image

Categories     Mustard     Onion     Vegetable     Side     Sauté     Vegetarian     Carrot     Spring     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces pearl onions
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound peeled baby carrots
3 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
2 tablespoons prepared hot English mustard (such as Colman's)
1 1/4 cups water

Steps:

  • Cook pearl onions in small saucepan of boiling water 3 minutes. Drain. Cool slightly. Peel onions.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter with oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add carrots, brown sugar and mustard and stir 2 minutes. Add 1 1/4 cups water and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until vegetables are tender and liquid is reduced to thin syrup, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and stir until butter melts and vegetables are coated, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots. Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and free of blemishes. Smaller carrots are typically more tender and flavorful than larger carrots.
  • Peel the carrots correctly. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the thin layer of skin from the carrots. Be careful not to peel too much of the carrot, as this can remove some of the flavor and nutrients.
  • Cut the carrots evenly. Cut the carrots into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. The size and shape of the carrot pieces will depend on the recipe.
  • Cook the carrots properly. Carrots can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, roasting, steaming, and frying. The cooking time will vary depending on the method and the size of the carrot pieces.
  • Add flavor to the carrots. Carrots have a mild flavor, so you can add a variety of herbs, spices, and seasonings to enhance their taste. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Serve the carrots immediately. Carrots are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve their flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Carrots are a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. With their sweet and earthy flavor, carrots are a great addition to salads, soups, stews, and main courses. They are also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. By following the tips in this article, you can cook carrots perfectly every time.
