TWO VINEGAR CARROTS



Two Vinegar Carrots image

The sweetness of the carrots is balanced out by the red wine vinegar, with the balsamic vinegar creating a very light glaze. *The onion states between 1/2 - 1 because when I make this for others I use 1/2 an onion but when I make it for just us I use a whole onion.

VICHY CARROTS



Vichy Carrots image

Vichy carrots are a dish in which the vegetables are cooked through in water with a little sugar on them to create a glaze. Historically, the excellence of this preparation derived from the quality of the spring water in Vichy, a resort town in central France. Jody Williams, the chef at Buvette in Greenwich Village, from whom this recipe is adapted, adds sherry vinegar to the water, along with, eventually, some honey, shallots and a pinch or two of fresh thyme. Who knows if the Vichyssoise would recognize the result. But served hot, room temperature or cold, they are some fantastic carrots.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound carrots, young ones if possible, or older ones cut into lengths of around 1/2 inch by 2 inches, trimmed and peeled
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium-size shallot, peeled and finely diced
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
Black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Put carrots in a sauté pan, season aggressively with salt and add a tablespoon of the vinegar. Add cold water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the carrots. Set pan over high heat and bring liquid to a boil.
  • Turn heat down to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are just cooked through, about 15 minutes. (If pan appears about to dry out during this process, add a splash or two of water.)
  • Once carrots are cooked through, discard any excess liquid in the pan. Add remaining tablespoon sherry vinegar to pan, along with the honey, olive oil, shallot and thyme, and cook for about 2 minutes to glaze the carrots. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, or at room temperature, or cold from the refrigerator.

  • Peel the carrots before slicing them. This will help the carrots cook evenly and absorb the vinegar mixture better.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the carrots. This will help create uniform slices that cook evenly.
  • Slice the carrots thinly. This will help them cook quickly and absorb the vinegar mixture more easily.
  • Use a combination of white vinegar and apple cider vinegar. This will give the carrots a balanced flavor.
  • Add sugar to the vinegar mixture. This will help balance the acidity of the vinegar and create a more flavorful carrot dish.
  • Add your favorite seasonings to the vinegar mixture. This could include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
  • Bring the vinegar mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer. This will help the flavors meld together and create a more concentrated vinegar mixture.
  • Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the sliced carrots. Make sure the carrots are completely covered by the vinegar mixture.
  • Let the carrots cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. This will allow the flavors to develop and the carrots to absorb the vinegar mixture.
