SPICY PICKLED CARROTS
These sweet and spicy pickled carrots are simple to make. The chef Pierre Thiam pairs them with black-eyed pea fritters, but they make a great condiment for just about everything.

GLAZED CARROTS WITH CARAWAY SEEDS
Caraway seeds are very popular in Austria and feature in many recipes, mostly in root vegetables, cabbage and bread. The fragrant seeds blend wonderfully with the sweetness of the carrots and make an excellent side dish to roasts, turkey and game birds. Turnips, parsnips and rutabagas can be prepared and glazed in the same way, adjusting the cooking time as necessary.

Steps:
- Cut the carrots on the bias into 1/4 inch coins.
- In a large, dry frying pan, toast the caraway seeds for a few minutes.
- Melt the butter in the same pan over medium heat. Add carrots, sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir together and cook for 1 - 2 minutes. Add enough water to barely cover the carrots, raise the heat to high, cover and cook until the water boils and the carrots turn bright orange, ca. 5 minutes. Do not add too much water, the carrots will become mushy if cooked too long.
- Uncover and and continue to cook the carrots over medium heat until the water evaporates, another 5 - 7 minutes, allowing the carrots to caramelize in the butter and sugar mixture.
- Taste for seasonings, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve at once.

PICKLED BEETS WITH CARAWAY
Caraway, great with carrots, is also very nice with beets. The trick to succeeding with these is to slice them very thin - about 1/8 inch thick. You can do this on a mandoline or with a Japanese slicer, or just use a sharp knife. The longer these are left to pickle the better. My favorite way to serve these pickled beets is to cut them into thin julienne and add them to a salad or make them into a beet slaw.

Steps:
- Place the beets and caraway seeds in a bowl or jar.
- In a large bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, sherry vinegar and sugar. Bring the water to a boil, remove from the heat and add to the vinegar and sugar mixture. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the salt and stir well. Pour over the beets and caraway, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 days before eating and for up to 2 weeks, the longer the better. Shake the jar from time to time or, if you use a bowl, place a saucer on top of the beets to keep them submerged. Remove from the brine with a slotted spoon to serve.

SPRING CARROT PICKLES WITH CARAWAY
You don't have to limit yourself to the young multicolored carrots that I'm finding at the farmers' market right now, but they are particularly beautiful, at least until the colors fade with time. Carrots and caraway make a good marriage.

Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the salt and stir well. Pour over the carrots and caraway, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 days before eating and for up to 2 weeks. These taste best with a longer brine, as the caraway has more time to infuse the brine. Shake the jar from time to time or, if you use a bowl, place a saucer on top of the carrots to keep them submerged. Remove from the brine with a slotted spoon to serve.
