A Glowing Holiday Dinner
 
Glazed Minted Carrots
Servings: 8  
 


Glazed Minted Carrots  

The bright orange color of the carrots illuminates the crisp bronze glaze of the hens and contrasts beautifully with the broccoli and fennel puree – not to mention the nutritional value of this sweet-and-sour side dish. Prepare and partially cook the carrots ahead of time, finishing them off closer to serving time.
 
 

 

INGREDIENTS

3 pounds carrots, scrubbed or peeled
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 1/2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
  Salt and freshly milled black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint or 1 1/2 tablespoons dried
 



METHOD

Cut the carrots into 3-inch lengths; halve or quarter the thicker ends so that they will cook evenly. Steam or boil until tender. Wrap and refrigerate.

When ready to serve, in a medium-size skillet coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, melt the butter with the maple syrup; stir in the mustard and carrots, and season with salt and a generous grinding of the fresh pepper. Cook over medium heat for several minutes, until well coated and bubbling, then toss with chopped mint and serve.
