Carrots With Olives & Twenty Cloves Of Garlic
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil or canola oil
1 large onion peeled & coarsely chopped
20 small garlic cloves, peeled, whole
1 cup vegetable stock
1 lb carrots, cut into 1 chunks
1/2 tsp dried rosemary leaves
1/4 cup coarsely chopped olive meat (prefer, ably oil-cured)
1/4 tsp sea salt, or to taste
Preparation
PRESSURE COOKER:
1. Heat the oil in in the cooker and saute the onions and garlic
until the onions are soft, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the stock (watch for sputtering oil!) and bring to the boil.
Add the carrots, rosemary, olives and salt.
3. Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to high pressure.
Lower the pressure with a quick-release method. Remove the lid,
tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape. If the
carrots are not quite done, set the lid back into place and let them
cook in the residual steam for another minute or two.
4. Serve the mixture in small bowls or lift out the solid
ingredients with a slotted spoon and serve them on a plate, reserving
any leftover liquid for cooking grains or adding to the soup pot.
STANDARD STOVETOP: In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, follow steps 1 and 2.
Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until
the carrots are tender, about 8 to 12 minutes. Follow step 4.
VARIATION: Potatoes with Twenty Cloves of Garlic: Replace the carrots
with small new potatoes about 1 ounce each, or larger thin-skinned
potatoes cut into chunks. Cook them for 5 minutes under
high-pressure, or 12 to 15 minutes standard stovetop method.
