Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup butter
2 pounds carrots, peeled, cut into equal-sized pieces
½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
½ cup bourbon whiskey
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Sprinkle in brown sugar. Stir until carrots are almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • When carrots are nearly tender, raise heat to medium-high to thicken the glaze, 15 to 30 seconds.
  • Season with cayenne pepper and ground black pepper. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.

MOLASSES GLAZED CARROTS



Molasses Glazed Carrots image

This recipe produces fabulous sweet & sour carrots. The molasses lends a real depth and complexity of flavour. Recipe is from Bon Appétit Magazine (December 2008). I think it would work really well with parsnips too.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons butter
3 lbs baby carrots (5-6 inches long) or 3 lbs medium carrots, peeled, trimmed (halved & cut into 5-inch pieces)
2 tablespoons light molasses, divided
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt (or more)
6 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar or 6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley, divided

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy extra-large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, 1 tablespoon molasses, and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt; sauté until carrots are coated with butter mixture, about 1 minute. Add 4 tablespoons vinegar and enough water to almost cover carrots (about 3-4 cups) and bring to boil. Cover and boil 2 minutes. Uncover and boil until liquid is reduced to syrup and carrots are tender, stirring often, about 20 minutes.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon molasses and 2 tablespoons vinegar to carrots and toss over medium-high heat until carrots are heated through and thickly coated with glaze, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon parsley. Season carrots to taste with more coarse salt and generous amount of ground black pepper. Transfer carrots to large bowl; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and serve.
