Description

This dish transforms humble carrots into a sophisticated side by simmering them in a fragrant broth of olive oil, onions, and an impressive twenty cloves of garlic. The addition of dried rosemary and coarsely chopped olives adds depth and a salty, briny contrast to the natural sweetness of the vegetables. Perfect for potlucks, family dinners, or as a hearty accompaniment to roasted meats. The garlic mellows completely during cooking, offering a rich aroma without an overpowering bite. Simple yet elegant, this recipe highlights the best of Mediterranean flavors.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel and coarsely chop 20 small garlic cloves.
  2. Peel 1 lb of carrots and cut them into 1-inch chunks.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a pressure cooker or heavy saucepan over medium heat.
  4. Add the chopped onion and garlic cloves, sautéing until the onions are soft, about 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of vegetable stock carefully to avoid splattering.
  6. Add the carrot chunks, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/4 cup coarsely chopped olives, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt.
  7. If using a pressure cooker, lock the lid and bring to high pressure. Cook for 5 minutes, then quick-release the pressure.
  8. If using a stovetop pot, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 8 to 12 minutes until carrots are tender.
  9. Check the carrots for tenderness; if needed, let them sit in residual heat for another 1-2 minutes.
  10. Transfer the carrots and solids to a serving dish, reserving the flavorful cooking liquid for soups or grains if desired.
