This recipe makes the most of big, thick carrots by braising them gently until they’re tender and super sweet. Serve over polenta or quinoa for a terrific main course.

Ingredients:

  • 8 large carrots, cut into large chunks
  • 1 ½ cup frozen pearl onions
  • 1 ½ cup low-sodium mushroom or vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons no-salt-added tomato paste
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup lightly packed fresh parsley leaves
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Serves: 4

Method:

Place carrots in a deep skillet large enough to hold them in a single layer. Top with onions (no need to thaw them). In a medium bowl, whisk together broth, tomato paste, shallot, salt and pepper. Pour over carrots and onions. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, lower heat, cover and simmer until carrots and onions are just tender, about 25 minutes. 

Meanwhile, to make gremolata, place parsley, lemon zest and garlic on a cutting board. Chop them together until they are very fine and well mixed. Transfer carrots and onions to a serving platter with their cooking liquid. Sprinkle with gremolata and serve.
