Carrots In Vinegar Cenouras Em Conserva Recipes

CARROTS IN VINEGAR (CENOURAS EM CONSERVA)

Steps:

• Peel and wash the carrots and slice them into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
• Blanch the carrots in boiling salted water for about 7-8 minutes. You want them cooked, but not overcooked - firm to the bite. Strain and set aside to cool.
• In a bowl combine the vinegar and garlic. Add in the cooled carrots and mix well. Stir gently enough to not break the pieces of carrot.
• Refrigerate for at least three hours, stirring every now and again.
• Arrange the carrots on a platter surrounded by the olives if you like.

CHARRED CARROTS WITH ORANGE AND BALSAMIC

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 4 inches away from the broiler and heat the broiler.
• Cut the carrots crosswise into 4-inch lengths. Cut the larger pieces lengthwise in half or quarters so the sticks are roughly 1/2-inch wide.
• Place the carrots on a sheet pan and drizzle them with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss with your hands until coated, then spread the carrots out in an even layer.
• Broil the carrots for about 10 minutes, tossing every few minutes, until they are tender and randomly charred. Top the carrots with the orange zest, orange juice and vinegar, sprinkle with some fleur de sel and toss to coat. Taste for seasonings, then serve warm or at room temperature.
