Orange braised carrots and parsnips

Category
Yields1 Serving

Ingredients

 1 lb Fresh carrots
 1 lb Parsnips
  cup Small-diced shallots (1 large)
 2 tsp Grated orange zest
 1 ¼ cups Freshly squeezed orange juice, divided (3 oranges)
  cup Olive oil
 6 Sprigs of fresh thyme, tied with a piece of string
 1 pinch Crushed red pepper flakes
 Salt and ground black pepper
 2 tbsp Minced parsley

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.

2

Trim and peel the carrots and parsnips. Cut or slice so all the pieces are the same size. (The bigger the pieces the longer they take to cook)

3

Place the carrots and parsnips in a pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, that can go in the oven and that’s large enough for the vegetables to lie flat. Add the shallots, orange zest, ¾ cup of the orange juice, the olive oil, thyme, red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.

4

Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover tightly with a lid or heavy-duty foil. Transfer to the oven and cook for 1½ hours, until the carrots and parsnips are very tender.

5

Discard the thyme bundle. Sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup of orange juice and the parsley and season to taste. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
