CANDIED CARROTS & WALNUTS

Candied Carrots & Walnuts image

This is a good recipe. I have added ground cinnamon and ground cloves to this before. I especially like to add the ground cloves when I serve these with ham. Just 1/4 tsp. of either when you add it in. I bet allspice or nutmeg would be good in this too. You can use fresh carrots in this dish. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds baby carrots, cleaned, washed and trimmed
1/3 cup smoked sugar or smoked maple syrup
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
1 cup Italian parsley leaves, chopped
2 teaspoons thyme leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

For the carrots: Place the carrots in a 10-inch saute pan. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the sugar or maple syrup and salt. Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium-high and continue to simmer vigorously, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened to a syrup and the carrots are fork tender, about 12 minutes. Stir in the butter. Remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
For the gremolata: Meanwhile, mix together the walnuts, parsley, thyme, lemon zest and salt in a medium bowl.
To serve, gently toss the carrots to coat them in the thickened syrup. Spoon them onto a platter and sprinkle with half of the gremolata. Serve the remaining gremolata on the side.
