Carrots Braised In Beer And Carrot Juice Recipes

CARROTS BRAISED IN BEER AND CARROT JUICE

Steps:

• Peel the carrots so that the thick ends are roughly the same width as the thinner ends; cut each carrot in thirds crosswise. Put the carrots in a medium skillet with the carrot juice and beer and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over moderate heat until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add the sugar, cover, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer the carrots to a plate.
• Whisk the butter into the sauce and simmer until thickened, 1 minute. Return the carrots to the skillet, season with salt, and toss to coat. Transfer to plates and serve.

BEER BRAISED CARROTS

Steps:

• 1. Heat a skillet (large enough to hold carrot halves in a single layer) over medium-high heat and add butter.
• 2. When butter has melted, add coriander and caraway seeds and toss to coat with the butter. Toast for a minute.
• 3. Add carrot halves and toss to coat with the butter. Season with salt and add the brown sugar.
• 4. Continue cooking over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and coats the carrots, about 1 minute. Add beer and continue cooking until carrots are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 25 to 30 minutes. (If beer cooks down, add a little water to finish cooking.)
• 5. Serve immediately.

MAPLE-BRAISED CARROTS

Steps:

• Trim and peel 1 1/2 pounds carrots; halve lengthwise and crosswise. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons grated ginger and cook 30 seconds. Add the carrots, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 4 strips lemon zest, 2 thyme sprigs, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, a pinch of cayenne and 1/2 cup water; stir. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until tender but still saucy, 15 minutes. Discard the thyme; top with chopped chives.
