I am always looking for new and interesting ways to
cook carrots. I am also always looking for a reason to cook Persian. I found this
glazed carrot recipe on the blog karenfood.blogspot.com. Actually it's only one
of many tasty recipes that I want to try from this blog.
Don't be afraid
of this dish. It's candied carrots glazed in brown sugar and ginger. What makes
it "Persian" is the addition of almonds, raisins and dates.
I
had everything I needed, except for the dates, but didn't think it would affect
the final outcome too much, and it didn't. We
really enjoyed them. The almonds added
a wonderful nutty flavor, the raisins (I used currants) add sweetness and the
grated fresh ginger just a bit of warmth.
This glazed carrot side dish
would be a tasty compliment to any meal.
Persian Carrots
4-5 medium carrots, sliced on the diagonal
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tbs
butter
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup chopped dates
1 inch grated fresh ginger
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbs brown sugar
In
a sauté pan on medium high heat, sauté onions in butter until beginning
to soften. Add sliced carrots and stir. After a few minutes, add the raisins,
almonds, dates, ginger and salt and pepper. Continue cooking for several minutes
until the carrots begin to soften. Add brown sugar and reduce heat until ready
to serve.
