Carrot Sauce Recipes

ROASTED CARROT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the carrots, onion, olive oil and garlic in a small bowl, coating the carrots and onions with the olive oil. Spread mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until vegetables are tender and have achieved light color, about 45 minutes. Occasionally stir vegetables. Puree the roasted vegetables, lemon juice, and sea salt with enough stock to form a sauce.
• Variation:
• Use half parsnips and half carrots in the recipe. Follow same cooking instructions.

FRESH CARROT SAUCE

Steps:

• Juice the carrots through a vegetable juicer. Skim any foam off the top. Pour the juice into a saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring the sauce up to just before the boiling point (tiny bubbles will begin to form) and remove from heat. Whisk in cubes of cold butter one at a time until all are incorporated.
• Place back on the heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Add cayenne, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Just before serving, add the fine herbs. This sauce is best made minutes before serving.

GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Place carrots into a large saucepan, pour in enough water to reach depth of 1 inch, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer carrots until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl.

CARROT BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove from the heat. Whisk in the butter a few chunks at a time; all of a sudden, the sauce will come together. Pour the sauce into a blender and hold a kitchen towel over the top for safety. Buzz until completely smooth and a beautiful sunset color appears. Serve hot.
