Slow Browned Carrots With Butter Recipes

BROWNED BUTTER CARROTS

Steps:

• Cut carrots in half lengthwise; cut into 2-inch pieces (cut any thick pieces in half lengthwise). In 12-inch or larger skillet, cook butter over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to brown. Add carrots, salt and pepper; cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until carrots are tender.
• Pour water into skillet. Cover; cook 10 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and vinegar; cook uncovered 8 to 10 minutes or until carrots are glazed and most of liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Garnish with thyme.

SLOW-ROASTED CARROTS WITH BROWN-BUTTER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325. Scrub the carrots, and peel them if you like (it really doesn't matter). Set a roasting pan over two burners on medium heat; put the olive oil in the pan. When the oil is hot, add the carrots and cook, turning as they brown, until lightly caramelized all over, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add 3 tablespoons butter, spices, salt and pepper. Transfer the roasting pan to the oven, and cook, shaking the pan once or twice, until the carrots are crinkly on the outside and you can pierce them easily with the tip of a sharp knife, 45 to 60 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put 1 stick butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until the butter foam subsides and the butter turns nut brown, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
• Put brown butter, vinegar, Dijon, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until a creamy emulsion forms, about 30 seconds; taste, and adjust the seasoning. Put the carrots on a platter, drizzle the vinaigrette over the top and garnish with the chervil or parsley, and serve.

BUTTERED CARROTS

Steps:

• Place the carrots in a wide, shallow pan, add just enough water to cover them, then add the sugar and butter. Simmer over a medium heat until the liquid has evaporated and the carrots are cooked through - they should be glazed and shiny. Season and serve.

BUTTERY COOKED CARROTS

Steps:

• Cook carrots in a large pot of boiling water until tender. Drain off most of the liquid, leaving bottom of pan covered with water. Set the carrots aside.
• Stir margarine and brown sugar into the water. Simmer and stir until the margarine melts. Return carrots to the pot, and toss to coat. Cover, and let sit for a few minutes to allow flavors to mingle.

SLOW COOKER BROWN BUTTER CARROTS

Steps:

• Peel and slice the carrots. I tend to like the thicker chunks of carrot, so don't go too crazy, just roughly chopped is fine. Set side.
• In a small saucepan add the butter. Turn the heat to medium or just above medium. Stir occasionally until the butter starts to foam and ultimately turns brown. There will be silty brown "bits" that have separated from the yellow liquid. Immediately transfer the mixture to your slow cooker.
• Add the salt, sugar, bay leaves, and vanilla and stir. Add the carrots and stir to coat.
• Cook on high for about 3 hours or until tender.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley or sage.
• The glaze is really great drizzled over mashed potatoes too...just sayin.
