Pomegranate-Balsamic-Glazed Carrots

Scott Phillips

Servings:eight.

Glazed carrots never had it so good. Bright, fresh flavors and a little cayenne play well with any rich main dish or holiday meal.

Preparation

  • Combine the juice, vinegar, and honey in a liquid measuring cup and whisk. Cut 1 Tbs. of the butter into 4 pieces and refrigerate.
  • 在一个12英寸的锅,热Tbs剩下的1。部tter with the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, add the carrots and 1-1/2 tsp. salt and toss well to coat. Cook without stirring until the bottom layer of carrots is lightly browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Using tongs, stir and flip the carrots and then leave undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes to brown. Continue cooking, occasionally stirring and flipping, until most of the carrots are a bit browned in places and are starting to feel tender, an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium if the bottom of the pan begins to brown too much.
  • Carefully add the chicken broth, cover quickly, and cook until all but about 1 Tbs. of the broth has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium low, and add the pomegranate mixture (re-whisk, if necessary) and the cayenne. Cook, stirring gently, until the mixture reduces and becomes slightly glazy, about 1 minute. Take the pan off the heat, add the chilled butter, and gently toss with a heatproof spatula until the butter has melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and stir in about two-thirds of the mint. Serve in a warm shallow bowl or on a platter, garnished with the remaining mint.

    I am a brand new cook- and took on a 12 person Thanksgiving dinner party. I made these carrots because of their unique ingredients and beautiful color- and I am so glad I did! They were easy for me to make and everyone LOVED them! And the best part is that they turned out exactly how the picture shows. I used the ready to eat already washed, peeled and cut carrots and it saved a lot of time.

    Perhaps the best carrot dish I've ever made. I make it with a combination of carrots, parsnips and purple dragon carrots for special occasions, but it is terrific with just reg. carrots. I also substitute V-8 Fusion instead of the pom juice (easier to find, kids drink it anyway).

    Excellent recipe and a big hit at Thanksgiving. I used unpeeled purple haze carrots from the farmers market and it was extra pretty.

    My husband loved these, but I found them a bit too tart. They did look just like the picture though!
