ORANGE BRAISED CHRISTMAS CARROTS

This recipe is based on Tom Kerridges Christmas carrots but twisted with my own recipe for orange braised carrots.  These went down a treat on our family Christmas dinner table elevating the carrots to one of those special Christmas Day dishes.

Prep time 5 minutes / Cooking time 40 minutes



Ingredients 
(serves 4-6)

12 whole carrots peeled
4 oranges juiced
1 pack salted butter
4 whole star anise
2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
150g light brown sugar
300ml water

Place all the ingredients except the carrots in a saucepan and bring to a simmer, place the carrots in and gently simmer for 40 minutes until the carrots are fork tender, remove the carrots and place to one side turn up the heat and reduce the cooking liquid until syrupy, take off the heat, pop the carrots back in to coat in the syrup and serve with a drizzle of the syrup.
