Peppered Tarragon Carrots Recipes

Steps:

• Cook carrots in salted water until tender, drain.
• Melt butter in a small sauce pan, add remaining ingredients and stir to mix.
• Place carrots in a serving dish, pour butter over them and toss.

Steps:

• Combine carrots, 1/4 cup water, 1 1/2 tablespoons tarragon, butter, vinegar and honey in heavy large skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and simmer until carrots are almost tender, about 12 minutes. Uncover; cook until carrots are tender and liquid is reduced to glaze, about 6 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to platter. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons tarragon.

Steps:

• Place 1 in. of water and carrots in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 7-8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain. Add butter; stir to coat. Sprinkle with tarragon.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet. Add the carrots and leeks. Cook, stirring often, until tender, five to eight minutes. Stir in the garlic, season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to one minute, and remove from the heat.
• Beat the eggs and milk together in a large bowl. Stir in salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, the cooked carrots and leeks, and the tarragon.
• Clean and dry the pan, and return to the burner, set on medium-high. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Drop a bit of egg into the pan, and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with a spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
• Turn the heat to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid, tilt the pan and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a wooden spatula so that it doesn't burn. The bottom should turn a golden color. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not.
• Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for one to three minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking, and allow it to cool for at least five minutes and for as long as 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold.

Steps:

• Put the young peeled carrots (with tops attached if you can get them) in a pan of boiling salted water and cook for 4-5 minutes until almost tender. Drain, put into a pan with a close-fitting lid, then add butter, some sea salt and black pepper.
• Put on a high heat and, as soon as the butter is melted, add chopped fresh tarragon leaves and jumble gently together. Tip the carrots and cooking juices into a warm dish and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil; add salt. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Quarter carrots lengthwise; cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Immediately transfer with tongs to the ice-water bath. Drain well; transfer to a large bowl.
• Bring 2 cups water, the vinegar, tarragon, coriander seeds, peppercorns, and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat; simmer 4 minutes. Pour brine over carrots; let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Transfer to airtight containers; refrigerate at least 1 week (pickles will keep 3 weeks more).
