Ingredients

2 pounds fresh baby carrots, cleaned, tops trimmed to 1/2-inch
Sea salt, or other good finishing salt
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons finely diced crystallized ginger
Freshly ground white pepper

Directions

In a shallow saucepan, over low heat, add the carrots and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring the water to a simmer. Cover them with a parchment round set over and touching the simmering water to get a perfect steam. Remove carrots from the water when they are almost fork tender and drain.

In a medium saute pan, over low heat, add the butter and stir in the chopped crystallized ginger. Allow the sugar from the ginger to melt into the butter, and then transfer the steamed carrots to the pan. Toss gently for approximately 2 minutes until the carrots are completely coated with the ginger butter. Finish with a pinch of salt and a crack of freshly ground white pepper. Serve immediately.

Love carrots, but...
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

... I really don't think the ginger did anything for the carrots at all. After tasting them at the dinner table, I ended up... sprinkling on tarragon, as I usually do. Thanks, though.Read more

I don't get it.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Why on earth do people trash other people's recipes?? Who the heck cares where the recipe comes from .. what I care about is... that it is good, easy to fix and good for my family. In today's busy lifestyle, we don't have all day to put together that night's dinner...if I can make it relatively fast and it's good, it's a good thing! My husband raves every night about my cooking. THANK YOU CLAIRE!!!! The heck with SO-CALLED Chef what's-his-name and Lelanie..don't listen to them. You're awesome! Keep the recipes coming!Read more

Great Easy Carrots!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had to speed up the cooking time on these (didn't read the directions properly) but other than that, these carrots were... great! I might use a teeny bit more ginger next time. There was only little hints of it here and there. Read more

Quick, easy, and delicious.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I hated carrots until I tried this recipe. I had a box of crystallized ginger around, and since it's not really that... pleasant to snack on, I decided to try this after I saw it one weekend. And while I still don't like carrots, they magically turn into my favorite vegetable when faced with making and eating a plate of this stuff. It's a great twist on a simple side, and it's delicious served with a single pork chop version of her rosemary pork tenderloin. Thumbs up!Read more

Something new in my boring kitchen!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These carrots were excellent. Instead of cooking the carrots as she recommended I steamed the carrots in the microwave... which helped since I had too much on the stove already. I followed the rest of the recipe. My husband LOVED THESE CARROTS. He came back from the store tonight with more crystalized ginger. I asked why since we already had plenty and he said he plans on having a lot more of these carrots. I am making her pork tendorloin right now and it smells delicious. I can not wait to try to it. I really like recipes that have simple ingredients so that you are not walking the store aisle looking for an ingredient you might use once. THANKS CLAIRE!!Read more
