BROWN SUGARED CARROTS



Brown Sugared Carrots image

I love using carrots with tops, if available. I like to chop some of the tops and sprinkle them over the carrots like parsley. I also have been known to fry the tops and put them over these carrots for garnish and texture. This is my ultimate comfort food. Whenever I was home sick from school, I would make my mother drag out her arsenal of recipes to make me "better" and this is one of them...

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 1 1/2 pounds carrots, all a similar size and thickness, peeled and quartered lengthwise, tops reserved for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1/2 to 1 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
1 sprig rosemary

Steps:

  • In a skillet large enough to hold the carrots, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, add the carrots and season with salt and black pepper. Using a wooden spoon, stir the carrots to coat with the oil and seasonings.
  • After the carrots have cooked for a few minutes, add the brown sugar and molasses and continue to cook, stirring from time to time. Add a little water so they can become tender without burning the sugar. Continue to cook until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add more water, if needed, but the sauce should be thick enough to coat the carrots and should bubble around the edges of the pan. The carrots should be tender and fairly yielding when pierced with the tip of a knife. Add the butter and the rosemary sprig. Once the butter has melted remove the rosemary sprig and discard. Transfer the carrots to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped carrot tops. Serve immediately or allow to "rest" a little before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Use fresh, young carrots for the best flavor and texture. Avoid carrots that are too thick or woody.
  • Peel the carrots evenly: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the carrots. Be sure to peel them evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: Cut the carrots into pieces of about the same size so that they cook evenly. You can cut them into rounds, slices, or even baby carrots.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help to prevent the carrots from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned skillet, you can use a nonstick skillet.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the carrots, don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the carrots will not cook evenly and will become mushy.
  • Cook the carrots over medium heat: Cook the carrots over medium heat so that they have time to caramelize and develop flavor. Don't cook them over high heat, or they will burn.
  • Stir the carrots frequently: Stir the carrots frequently so that they cook evenly. This will also help to prevent them from sticking to the skillet.
  • Add the glaze at the end: Add the mustard-brown sugar glaze to the carrots at the end of the cooking process. This will help to keep the glaze from burning.

Conclusion:

These glazed carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The mustard-brown sugar glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the carrots that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a simple but flavorful side dish, give these glazed carrots a try.
