Sticky Liquorice Carrots Recipes

Steps:

• Tip the carrots into a deep frying pan with the butter, thyme and honey. Cook for 5 mins until starting to brown. Pour in 250ml water, bring to the boil and cook until the water has evaporated and the carrots are tender. Turn down the heat and cook the carrots slowly, stirring, until glazed.

Steps:

• Finely chop the liquorice and put in a small pan with about 5cm water. Boil for 30 mins, topping up with water to keep the liquorice covered at all times, mashing and stirring occasionally, until nearly all the lumps of liquorice have disappeared and you're left with black, syrupy water. Sieve into a new pan, add the butter, and gently bubble until you have a consistency between clear honey and gravy.
• Boil a big saucepan of water. Add the carrots and cook for a couple of mins until just tender. Drain well, then tip back into their pan and add the hot liquorice syrup. Toss to coat, season, and tip into a dish to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C fan forced (200C normal).
• Toss the carrots in olive oil and season with salt and pepper in a large baking tray and cook in the oven for about 15 minutes or until reasonably tender, tossing now and again.
• Then toss the carrots with the honey and parsley and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes or until well glazed.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole over a low heat and cook the carrots with some salt for about 15 mins, tossing occasionally until browned all over. Add the butter and cook until foaming, then add the cider, apple juice, spices and sugar.
• Bring to a simmer and cook for 20-25 mins until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced and is sticky. Serve, or leave to cool, then reheat in the glaze when ready.
