7 Minute Steamed Carrots With Herbs Recipes

Steps:

• Peel 1 1/2 pounds carrots and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Cook in 1/2 cup simmering salted water in a skillet over medium-high heat, covered, until tender and the skillet is mostly dry, 10 to 13 minutes. Uncover and stir in 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest until glazed; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped chives.

Steps:

• In a mini food processor or a blender, combine the garlic, oregano, cumin seeds, coriander, and pepper flakes. Add the vinegar and grind to a paste. In a thin stream, drizzle in the olive oil and blend until the mixture is emulsified. Set aside while you cook the carrots. In a medium heavy saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until beginning to soften. Add the water, sugar (if desired), salt, and pepper and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, for about 5 more minutes, or until the carrots are just tender but not mushy. Add a little more water to the pan if necessary. Transfer the carrots to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon and immediately add the herb dressing. Toss together and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Leave the carrots to marinate for 2 to 3 hours, and when ready to serve, stir in the parsley. Serve at room temperature, on tiny plates or ramekins.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel the carrots and trim off all but about 1/2 inch of the tops. Stack the carrots on a large piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay the rosemary, sage and thyme on top.
• Bring the ends of the foil together, fold over and crimp to seal into a tight package. Put on a baking sheet and roast until tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Carefully open the package and transfer the carrots with any accumulated juices to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the parsley and a pinch of salt.

Sprinkle with fleur de sel and pepper and serve.

• Trim the long green tops off the carrots and wash under cold running water, scrubbing them with a clean scourer to get rid of any dirt. Halve the carrots lengthways so they're all the same size, and put in a large, microwave-proof bowl with 3 tbsp water. Cover the carrots with a microwaveable plate or lid and heat on full power for 8-10 mins until just tender. Drain, then toss with the herby butter and serve straightaway.
