Apricot glazed Carrots Recipe

Carrots, cooked al dente and glazed with apricot jam. I have used red bell peppers in the recipe. You may use a combination of peppers, as desired. This accompaniment goes well with a nice spicy Roast chicken as its sweet mellow flavours would gel well with a spicy main course.

Recipe Story

Any Holiday Menu would be incomplete without an accompaniment to go with its main courses. And on such festive occasions like Rosh Hashanah, I like to use ingredients which complement the sweetness of the occasion. Hence use of subtly sweet carrots and apricots which get balanced with peppery flavours from bell peppers.
