Carrots Glazed With Cumin And Orange Recipes

CUMIN AND ORANGE GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Cut out a round from parchment paper to fit just inside a 12-inch heavy skillet (3 inches deep), then set round aside.
• Cut peel, including all white pith, from oranges with a sharp paring knife. Working over a bowl, cut segments free from membranes, letting segments fall into bowl, then squeeze 1/2 cup juice from membranes into another bowl (discard membranes). Chop orange segments and reserve.
• Cut a 1-inch-thick diagonal slice from a carrot and set aside, then roll carrot away from you 90 degrees and cut another 1-inch-thick diagonal slice. (Shape will resemble a trapezoidal log. If carrots are very thick, cut slices in half lengthwise as well). Cut up rest of carrot in same manner, then repeat with remaining carrots.
• Heat oil in skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then add cumin seeds and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, water, orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cover carrots directly with parchment round and simmer, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Remove parchment, then continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is evaporated and carrots are tender and glazed, about 20 minutes more. Serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with chopped orange.

• Place carrots in a shallow saucepan, and cover with water. Boil until tender. Drain, and return carrots to pan.

CARROTS GLAZED WITH CUMIN AND ORANGE

Steps:

• Slice the carrots diagonally into 1cm/½inch thick rounds.
• Heat a small frying pan until hot without adding any oil, and put in the cumin and cardamom seeds (be careful as they may pop). Toast these for a few minutes until they begin to release their aromas.
• Take a lidded pan large enough to hold the carrots in one layer if possible. Put in the carrots, spices, garlic, thyme, olive and butter, place the pan over a low to medium heat, and sweat the carrots for 5 minutes.
• Add the sugar and a cook for a few minutes more. Add a few drops of water just to cool the carrots down a little, then add the orange zest and place a lid on the pan. Continue cooking until the carrots are tender.
• Once cooked, remove the lid and if there is any moisture left in the pan, reduce it until the carrots are nice and slippery. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper and serve.
