MISO-GLAZED CARROTS "The
Natural Kitchen: Soy" by Dana Jacobi, Prima Publishing 1996
Adapted by StarChefs Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon cold-pressed sesame oil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 3 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 tablespoon mellow white miso
- 3/4 cup mild vegetable broth or water
- 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger, or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon roasted sesame oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Method:
1. In a medium heavy skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil.
Add the onion and carrots. Sauté until the onion is soft, about
6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Take care not to let the onion
color.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, cream the miso with about 1/4 cup
of the broth. Stir this mixture, the remaining broth, orange zest,
and ginger, into the carrots. Reduce the heat and simmer until the
liquid is reduced to a glaze and carrots are tender-crisp, 12 to
15 minutes.
3. Stir in the roasted sesame oil and remove the skillet from
the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. |
