Sticky Liquorice Carrots Recipes

STICKY LIQUORICE CARROTS

Steps:

• Finely chop the liquorice and put in a small pan with about 5cm water. Boil for 30 mins, topping up with water to keep the liquorice covered at all times, mashing and stirring occasionally, until nearly all the lumps of liquorice have disappeared and you're left with black, syrupy water. Sieve into a new pan, add the butter, and gently bubble until you have a consistency between clear honey and gravy.
• Boil a big saucepan of water. Add the carrots and cook for a couple of mins until just tender. Drain well, then tip back into their pan and add the hot liquorice syrup. Toss to coat, season, and tip into a dish to serve.

LEMON-GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Place carrots into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until carrots are tender, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir carrots, brown sugar, and lemon juice in the melted butter, stirring often, until sugar has dissolved, 2 minutes.

SPICY GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir carrots with brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg in the hot oil until carrots are glazed, coated with spices, and tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

SWEET AND SPICY CARROTS

Steps:

• Mix carrots and orange juice in a large saucepan; bring to a boil, place a cover on the pan, reduce heat to low, and cook at a simmer until carrots are tender-crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain carrots, reserving 1/4 cup of the orange juice.
• Return carrots and reserved juice to the pan and place over medium heat. Stir honey, apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, butter, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper with the carrots and juice; cook and stir until sugar dissolves completely and the carrots are glazed and tender, about 10 minutes.

• Preheat oven to 180C fan forced (200C normal).

• Then toss the carrots with the honey and parsley and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes or until well glazed.

ZESTY CARROTS

Steps:

• Place the carrots in a saucepan with about 1 inch of water in the bottom. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain, and set aside.

• Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned.

STICKY CARROT PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in middle. Lightly butter 8 (6-ounce) ramekins.
• Soak raisins in the hot water until plump, about 15 minutes. Drain.
• Whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, and pepper; set aside.
• Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time. Mix in vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Mix in flour mixture. Mix in carrots, nuts, and raisins.
• Pour into ramekins, filling each three-quarters full. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until just set, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer ramekins to a wire rack. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Turn puddings out onto dishes. Spoon about 1/4 cup toffee sauce over each, and garnish with carrot ribbons.
