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