Jamie Oliver's: Carrots Boiled with Orange, Garlic and Herbs


ingredients

  • 1 lb carrots, sliced
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small bunch thyme or other herbs (see below), tied for easy removal
  • 3 cloves garlic (no need to peel)
  • Pinch of cumin
  • 1 medium orange

directions

printable recipe
dish: side
season: fall
Boil the carrots in salted boiling water with a tablespoon of sugar, a knob
of butter and a little handful of fragrant fresh herbs
, tied up. Parsley,
rosemary, thyme, bay – use just one or a mixture.

Cut an orange into eighths and add them to the water, along with a few
whole garliccloves in their skins. If you really want to be a little tiger, add
a pinch of cumin as well (seeds or ground) – it subtly cuts through with
the most wonderful flavor.

As soon as the carrots are cooked, drain them, discard the herbs and all
but one of the orange pieces, squeeze the garlic out of its skin, chop the
remaining orange piece finely and toss with the carrots, some seasoning
and a little more butter. The flavor will be incredible.

Another idea is to fry the chopped-up orange in a good tablespoon of sugar,
so it almost jammifies, and serve this on top of the carrots. These two flavors
together are one of the coolest things.
