CARROTS

Steps:

• Carrots boiled with orange, garlic and herbs: Boil the carrots in salted boiling water with a tablespoon of sugar, a knob of butter and a little handful of fragrant herbs, tied up. Parsley, rosemary, thyme, bay - use just one or a mixture. Cut an orange into eighths and add them to the water, along with a few whole garlic cloves in their skins. If you really want to be a little tiger, add a pinch of cumin as well (seeds or ground) - it subtly cuts through with the most wonderful flavour. As soon as the carrots are cooked, drain them, discard the herbs and all but one of the orange pieces, squeeze the garlic out of its skin, chop the remaining orange piece finely and toss with the carrots, some seasoning and a little more butter. The flavour will be incredible.
• Another idea is to fry the chopped-up orange in a good tablespoon of sugar, so it almost jammifies, and serve this on top of the carrots. These two flavours together are one of the coolest things.
• Or, roasted carrots with orange, garlic and thyme: just as easy - as soon as you drain the carrots you can throw them into a baking tray with the chopped-up orange and the garlic cloves and roast them at 200°C/400°F/gas 6 for 10 minutes - this will give you a slightly meatier flavour.
• Or simply mash the carrots up with the orange and garlic, so you have some coarse and some smooth. Lovely.

CARROTS WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Wash, peel, and trim the carrots and then cut them in half crosswise. Halve the carrots lengthwise if they are quite large.
• Heat the olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the carrots in the pan in a single layer. Sprinkle with chopped onion, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Turn the carrots and continue cooking for about 15 minutes longer, or until fork-tender. The liquid should have cooked off and the carrots should be showing some caramelization at the end of the cooking time.
• Sprinkle the ​carrots with the fresh herbs. Squeeze 2 of the orange wedges over the carrots.
• Toss to coat thoroughly and serve with remaining orange wedges.
