Don't you love it when you pick up a cookbook or magazine and you find a recipe that fits with the meal you're planning on making later that day? This one's from Bon Appetit's October 2006 edition. Ingredients:
2 tbsp butter |
3/4 cup finely chopped onion |
1 half inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled, cut into this slices, then each slice into strips |
4 whole green cardamom pods, smashed |
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced |
1 1/2 lbs medium-size carrots (about 14), peeled, cut on deep diagonal into 1/3 inch thick ovals |
1 cup (or more) low-salt chicken broth |
ground white pepper and salt (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, ginger, cardamom pods with seeds, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until onion is soft, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes. Add carrots and stir to coat.
2. Add chicken broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until just tender, about 8 minutes.
3. Uncover, increase heat to high and boil until butter glazes carrots, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add additional salt and pepper if needed.
