Thanks to ginger and cardamom, these glazed carrots have a quietly exotic aroma and flavor. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter |
3/4 cup finely chopped onion |
1 (1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled, cut into thin slices, then each slice cut into strips |
4 whole green cardamom pods, smashed |
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced |
1 1/2 pounds 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 |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, ginger, cardamom pods with seeds, and garlic; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until onion is soft, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes. Add carrots; stir to coat. Add 1 cup chicken broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until just tender, about 8 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to high, and boil until butter glazes carrots, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper. Do ahead Can be made 2 hours ahead. Rewarm over medium heat, adding more broth by tablespoonfuls as needed.
