Cumin And Orange Glazed Carrots Recipes

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.

ORANGE-GLAZED BABY CARROTS WITH CUMIN

Steps:

• In 10-inch skillet, heat all ingredients except parsley to boiling over medium heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 7 to 9 minutes or until carrots are barely cooked through.
• Uncover skillet and stir carrots. Simmer about 2 minutes longer or until liquid is reduced to about 1 tablespoon and carrots have a glazed appearance. Remove from heat and sprinkle with parsley.

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.

ORANGE-HONEY GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Cut the carrots diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. You should have about 5 cups of carrots. Place 1/2 cup water, the butter, honey, 2 teaspoons of salt, and the ginger in a large saute pan and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, cover the pan, and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, or until all the water has evaporated. You may want to raise the heat for the last 5 minutes.
• Add the orange zest and orange juice to the pan, tossing with the carrots. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, until the carrots are al dente (tender but still resistant when you bite) and the sauce glazes the carrots. Add the pepper and another teaspoon of salt, to taste.

CUMIN ROASTED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F, or a grill to high (if you are outside, prepare a campfire). Cut any large carrots in half lengthwise and crosswise.
• Drizzle a large sheet of foil with some oil. Arrange the carrots in a flat, single layer over half the sheet of foil. Drizzle the carrots with more oil and sprinkle with the garlic, cumin and salt and pepper. Top the carrots with the butter and drizzle with the honey. Fold the foil in half over the carrots and fold the edges to seal and form a pouch. To avoid crowding the carrots, make two pouches if necessary.
• Cook the pouch in the oven or on a grill or campfire for 15 minutes. To serve, cut open the pouch tableside and finish with a sprinkle of parsley.

ORANGE GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Place carrots in a shallow saucepan, and cover with water. Boil until tender. Drain, and return carrots to pan.
• Pour orange juice over carrots, and mix well. Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, butter, and salt. Heat until butter and sugar melt.

CUMIN GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Cook carrots with oil and cumin in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until well coated, about 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients and simmer, uncovered, shaking pan occasionally, until liquid is evaporated and carrots are tender and glazed, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GLAZED CUMIN CARROTS

• Add remaining ingredients, starting with 1 cup of broth.
