Baby Carrots with Pineapple Glaze
This side dish goes together quickly because tiny whole carrots don?t need
to be peeled before cooking.
1 pound tiny whole carrots
3 medium leeks (12 ounces), sliced 1/2-inch thick (1 cup)
1 cup unsweetened pineapple, orange, or apple juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger or 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Plain yogurt (optional)
To trim carrots, leave 1 to 2 inches of stem; it is not necessary to peel
them. In a medium saucepan cook carrots, covered, in a small amount of
boiling water for 5 minutes. Add sliced leeks; cook about 5 minutes more or
until carrots are crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
For glaze, in the same saucepan combine juice, cornstarch, gingerroot or
ground ginger, salt, and nutmeg. Cook and stir over medium heat until
thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Stir in vegetables;
heat through. Garnish each serving with a dollop of plain yogurt, if desired.
Makes 4 servings.
