Ginger Lime Baby Rainbow Carrots

Serves 4

Total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

24 baby carrots, tops trimmed to 2 inches*

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

pinch of cinnamon

1/2 cup chicken stock

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

1/4 teaspoon Sriracha

salt

1 tablespoon furikake (see Note)

Directions

In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the carrots until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain the carrots.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the carrots, ginger and cinnamon and cook over moderate heat, tossing occasionally, until the ginger is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and boil over moderately high heat until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let cool for 30 seconds. Swirl in the butter, lime juice and Sriracha and season with salt. Arrange the carrots on a platter and spoon the ginger-lime sauce from the pan on top. Sprinkle with the furikake and serve.

Notes

Baby carrots are just that.  Baby Carrots.  When you see the very small, rounded carrots all uniformly shaped and sized, they were once carrots deemed as not of a quality to be sold whole.   Rather than go to waste, they were cut down and shaped to make what you see in their packages today.

Furikake (振り掛け / ふりかけ) is a dry Japanese seasoning meant to be sprinkled on top of cooked rice, vegetables, and fish. It typically consists of a mixture of dried fish, sesame seeds, chopped seaweed, sugar, salt, and monosodium glutamate. ... It can have a slight fish or seafood flavoring and is sometimes spicy.

Furikake is available in most grocery stores today along with Asian markets and many specialty food stores.
