3 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole. Slice the carrots diagonally in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices.

POT ROAST WITH CARROTS, SHALLOTS, MINT AND LEMON



Pot Roast with Carrots, Shallots, Mint and Lemon image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 5-pound chuck blade roast, silver skin removed
Kosher salt
1 pound slab bacon, large dice
Olive oil, if necessary
10 shallots, peeled and left whole
4 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
5 to 6 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
10 sprigs thyme, tied with butcher's twine
16 ounces apple cider
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 fresh bay leaves (dry are OK, too)
Four 12-ounce lager or porter beers
1 cup chicken or beef stock (preferably homemade)
1 cup mint leaves, torn
1 to 2 lemons, zest only

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the beef liberally with salt (about 4 tablespoons) and then refrigerate overnight, preferably on rack.
  • Pull the beef out an hour before cooking to take the chill off of it. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Render the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until slightly crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve.
  • Brown the beef on all sides in that same pan over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes per side. As you brown the smaller sides, add the shallots and carrots and begin to brown them. Once all sides of the beef are browned, remove to a plate. Add the garlic and thyme to the remaining vegetables with a pinch of salt and sweat until you get a slight caramelization and the vegetables start to release their aromas, about 4 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with the cider, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to get all of the caramelization into the sauce. This step will give you more depth to the finished sauce and add a layer of richness. Add the coriander and bay leaves, then the beer. Bring to a simmer. Add the beef back in, along with the bacon and enough of the stock to go three-quarters of the way up of the roast (about 1 cup, keeping in mind that the cooking liquid will reduce while it's in the oven).
  • Baste the beef with the liquid, top with a lid and put it in the oven. Cook until tender, basting every hour, 3 to 4 hours.
  • Remove the roast from the oven and skim any excess fat. Break the roast apart in the pan so that there are large chunks in the liquid. Gently remove the chunks of roast to a platter. Spoon the vegetables on top and garnish with the torn mint and lemon zest. Add a couple of spoonfuls of the braising liquid on top to spread the lemon and mint flavors throughout the dish. Serve.

ROASTED CARROTS



Roasted Carrots image

This dish is inspired by a roasted carrot antipasto I recently sampled at Oliveto Cafe in Oakland, Calif. The roasted carrots were tossed with lots of parsley and thyme, and I loved the way those bitter herbs offset the sweetness of the carrots.

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 1h

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds carrots, peeled quartered or cut into sixths lengthwise depending on the size, then into 2-inch lengths
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon oregano
3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil a sheet pan or a baking dish large enough to fit all of the carrots in a single layer. Place the carrots in a large bowl, and toss with the olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme and oregano.
  • Spread in an even layer in the prepared pan or baking dish. Cover with foil, and place in the oven for 30 minutes. Uncover, and if the carrots are not yet tender, turn the heat down to 375 degrees and return to the oven for 10 to 15 more minutes until tender. Add the parsley, stir gently, and taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

1 3/4 pounds medium-size red-skinned potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
6 medium carrots, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
8 large shallots, peeled

Transfer vegetables to bowl.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are about the same size so they cook evenly. Avoid carrots that are too thick or too thin, as they may not cook properly.
  • Scrub the carrots well: Before roasting, scrub the carrots well to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a high-quality olive oil: Olive oil is a great choice for roasting vegetables, as it has a high smoke point and a delicious flavor.
  • Season the carrots and shallots generously: Don't be afraid to season the carrots and shallots with plenty of salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder.
  • Roast the carrots and shallots until they are tender: The carrots and shallots should be roasted until they are tender and slightly caramelized. This will usually take about 20-30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Roasted carrots and shallots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be roasted in the oven or on the grill.
