Miso and Sesame Glazed Carrots
This miso butter can be used on any number of things but we love it adding richness to spring carrots.
Ingredients
4 tbsp butter, room temperature
4 tbsp red miso
1 lime, juice and zest
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
2 lbs carrots, cleaned and cut into 2 inch pieces
1 bunch scallions, sliced thinly
1 clam micro cilantro
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil
- Combine everything except the carrots, sesame seeds, scallions, and micro cilantro into a soft paste
- Simmer the carrots 8 minutes or until beginning to soften
- Drain the carrots and discard the water
- Return the pot to the stove and heat a glug of olive oil over medium heat
- Add the carrots and the miso-butter mixture and a 2 tbsp of water
- Cover the carrots and simmer until all the moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes
- Stir to coat then transfer to a serving dish and top with the sliced scallion and micro cilantro
