Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 pound turnips, cut into 1-inch pieces
3/4 pound carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the vegetables in a skillet just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add enough water so that it comes halfway up their sides along with the butter and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then adjust the heat to maintain a simmer. Cover the vegetables with a round of parchment paper just large enough to fit the inside diameter of the pan, or with a lid set ajar. Simmer the vegetables until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the cover and raise the heat to high. Toss the vegetables frequently in the pan, as the liquid evaporates to a shiny smooth glaze. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

GLAZED CARROTS WITH ORANGE AND GINGER



Glazed Carrots With Orange and Ginger image

When carrots are cooked, it's often a sad affair. They are boiled to death and presented almost as an apology. Yet when they're treated with the respect they deserve, even ordinary supermarket carrots can be among the most reliable and enjoyable of vegetables, especially from fall through spring. This braise-and-glaze technique can be varied at will and can also be used with other roots, like beets, turnips and radishes. Once you have the hang of the technique, changing the flavorings is a snap. Try substituting a mixture of half balsamic vinegar, half water or soy sauce similarly diluted for the orange juice, adding a few cloves of peeled garlic with the carrots. Or add a half cup or so of chopped onions, shallots, scallions or leeks, or of chopped pitted dates or raisins, dried currants or even dried tomatoes.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound carrots, trimmed and peeled if necessary, cut into 1/4-inch coins or sticks
2 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced or grated peeled fresh ginger
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon 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 saucepan no more than 6 inches across. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring to coat, then adjust heat so mixture simmers. Cover.
  • Cook, more or less undisturbed, until carrots are tender and liquid is almost gone, 10 to 20 minutes. Uncover and boil off remaining liquid, then add lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot or within an hour or two, garnished with herbs, if you like.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turnips: Look for small, tender turnips with smooth skin. Avoid turnips that are large, woody, or have blemishes.
  • Peel the turnips thinly: Use a vegetable peeler to remove just the outer layer of skin. This will help the turnips cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Cut the turnips into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the turnips are different sizes, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still undercooked.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the turnips from burning.
  • Add the ginger at the right time: If you add the ginger too early, it will burn and become bitter. Add it towards the end of the cooking process, so that it retains its flavor and aroma.
  • Don't overcook the turnips: Turnips should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked turnips will become mushy and lose their flavor.

Conclusion:

Ginger-glazed turnips, carrots, and chestnuts is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The turnips and carrots are roasted until tender and then glazed with a sweet and savory ginger sauce. The chestnuts add a nutty flavor and texture to the dish. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
