Roast Carrots Leeks And Parsley With Champignon Sauce Recipes

ROASTED CARROTS AND LEEKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Trim and discard dark-green parts from leeks. Halve leeks lengthwise, and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Rinse well in cold water to remove grit.
• On a rimmed baking sheet, toss leeks with carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks, and olive oil; season with coarse salt and ground pepper.
• Spread in a single layer; roast until vegetables are golden and tender, tossing halfway through, about 40 minutes.

ROASTED CARROTS AND LEEKS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (200 C)
• Prep vegetables: Wash carrots and leeks and remove stems. Slice the white parts of leeks, stopping just before reaching the harder green parts. Cut carrots diagonally into pieces that are similar in size to the leeks(for easier eating).
• Roast vegetables: Arrange the vegetables on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, tossing to completely cover with oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and herbs. Place sheet pan in the oven and roast for 35 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes to roast on all sides.
• Serve vegetables: Remove pan from oven, arrange vegetables on a plate and serve as a side dish or as a salad topping.

RICE PILAF WITH CARROTS AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Place the rice in a bowl in the sink and rinse several times with water, or soak for 30 minutes, to wash away some of the starch. Drain through a strainer.
• Heat the water or stock to a bare simmer in a saucepan or in a Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the carrots, onion or leek, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes, and add the rice. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate and beginning to crackle. Add the hot water or stock and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
• Uncover the rice and place a clean towel over the top of the pan (it should not be touching the rice). Replace the lid and allow the rice to sit for 10 minutes, undisturbed. Add the parsley and gently fluff the rice, then pile the pilaf onto a platter or into a wide bowl and serve.
