How To Boil Carrots
When carrots are to be used in appetizers such as this Fresh Spring Carrot Dip & soups, it’s important to cook them briefly before pureeing them in the food processor or blender. If a glazed carrot side dish is desired, softening the carrots, then allowing them to reduce in a bit of orange juice & fresh ginger will produce a good texture & quality flavor. Learn how to wash & clean the carrots properly, then follow these pointers for success in your own kitchen.
The Technique
Cut 1 pound of scraped & sliced carrots into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Bring the carrots & water to cover to a boil in a 2 quart saucepan. Cook 12 to 14 minutes or until tender. Drain & run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Use as directed in specific recipe applications.
