Spiced carrots, and ๐ ๐ฅ ๐ฝ๏ธ A versatile side with any protein, these carrots will elevate your Sunday lamb roast ๐
Ingredients:
- Bunch carrot x 250 gm
- Bunch carrot tops, deep fried x optional
- Garlic oil x 15 ml
- Veg stock x 1 cup
- Flake salt x pinch
- Cracked pepper x pinch
- Star anise x 1 each
- Cinnamon stick x 1 each
- Caraway seed x 1.5 tsp
- Cardamom pod x 6 pods
- All spice x 1/4 teaspoon
- Butter x 20 gm
Seems like a lot of ingredients but itโs worth the time to weigh them out and the method is so simple it makes up for it ๐
Method:
1. Get a pan that will fit the carrots, make sure it has a lid. Get your pan up to a medium heat before adding carrots and salt. Put lid on and jiggle every so often until the carrots have browned on the outside. This adds a lot of flavour to the end result.
2. Once carrots have browned, add all your spices and shake with the lid on the heat through.
3. Add your veg stock, put lid back on, turn heat down a little bit and allow to cook until your stock has mostly reduced. This will take about 10 minutes.
4. Turn the heat off and add your butter to the cooked carrots. Put lid back on and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
5. Serve topped with your deep fried carrot tops if using.
These carrots are super simple and pack a savoury punch. We keep our carrot tops, wash and dry them well, and deep fry as they make a perfect garnish and it saves on waste ๐
