I saw a recipe for marinated carrots recently. Anyone know if I saw it here? You take sliced...

...carrots and par-cook them in boiling water, then into a skillet with an herb-vinegar marinade. They cook here for a short time and then to the fridge.

I can't find the recipe! I just saw it within the last couple of weeks.

Nevermind. I found it. It's Mary Ann Esposito recipe from Ciao Italia. REC: Insalata di Carote

Insalata di Carote

Carrot Salad
Mary Ann Esposito

Marinade

1/2 cup EVOO
juice of 1/2 lemon
3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley
1 tsp. chopped fresh oregano, or 1/2 tsp. dried
1 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 pound carrots
8 green onion tops

In a shallow dish, whisk together all the marinade ingredients. Set aside.

Peel the carrots and trim tops and bottoms. Cut carrots into pieces 3" long and 1/4" thick. Boil in water to cover until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain and immediately add them to the marinade. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 3 hours.

Par-boil the green onion tops for 1 to 2 minutes, or until wilted. Drain; refresh under cold water; dry with paper towels.

Divide carrots into 8 bundles and tie with an onion top. Place on a decorative platter and pour remaining marinade over them. Serve at room temperature.

(I'm more interested in making the carrots and just keeping them around to snack on.)

 
Remember her bit about not understanding why people wanted to ban violins in schools?...

...Emily, that's VIOLENCE in schools.

Oh. Well. That's different. Never mind.

Luvvit.

oh yum---I like the old marinated in tomato soup version, but this is so much more fresh and healthy

I really miss watching Mary Ann on PBS. Our PBS took all cooking shows off except for a Julia Child series and the Simple series by Martha Stewart. Funding. I would give if they gave me what I wanted. does anyone remember the Urban Peasant show? He was actually quite good at shopping locally and then making something delish in a small kitchen. Also miss Biba and Burt Wolf(I think that's his name).

 
I miss Nick Stellino on La Cucina Amore. He was personable, likeable and talented. He made me...

...feel like I could cook any dish he cooked, and he was all about family traditions.

I love the chicken marinated in white wine in the first book. We make it often...

...and use either a vertical roaster or a rotisserie on the grill. Very tender and good.
