Two Vinegar Carrots Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, mix distilled white vinegar, white sugar, salt, pepper and water. Bring the mixture to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Place the carrots in sterile containers. Cover with the vinegar solution. Seal the containers, refrigerate and marinate carrots 12 hours or overnight before serving.

Steps:

• Bring several quarts water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the carrots and pinch of salt to boiling water. Cook until the carrots are a little underdone, about 8 - 12 minutes. (time varies depending on if you use baby carrots or sliced)
• Drain and set aside.
• Mix red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar and roesmary. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until golden, about 3 - 5 minutes. Add the carrots and stir and cook 1 minute to coat and mix.
• Add the vinegar mixture to the skillet. Simmer, stirring occasionally, over high heat until the vinegar evaporates, about 5 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add carrots and sauté 5 minutes. Cover and cook until carrots are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. Stir in sugar and vinegar. Cook uncovered until carrots are tender and glazed, stirring frequently, about 12 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add chives and toss to blend. Transfer to bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Put carrots in a sauté pan, season aggressively with salt and add a tablespoon of the vinegar. Add cold water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the carrots. Set pan over high heat and bring liquid to a boil.
• Turn heat down to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are just cooked through, about 15 minutes. (If pan appears about to dry out during this process, add a splash or two of water.)
• Once carrots are cooked through, discard any excess liquid in the pan. Add remaining tablespoon sherry vinegar to pan, along with the honey, olive oil, shallot and thyme, and cook for about 2 minutes to glaze the carrots. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, or at room temperature, or cold from the refrigerator.
