CARROTS WITH FRESH HERBS
Steps:
- Wash, peel, and trim the carrots and then cut them in half crosswise. Halve the carrots lengthwise if they are quite large.
- Heat the olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the carrots in the pan in a single layer. Sprinkle with chopped onion, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Turn the carrots and continue cooking for about 15 minutes longer, or until fork-tender. The liquid should have cooked off and the carrots should be showing some caramelization at the end of the cooking time.
- Sprinkle the carrots with the fresh herbs. Squeeze 2 of the orange wedges over the carrots.
- Toss to coat thoroughly and serve with remaining orange wedges.

STIR-FRIED BALSAMIC GINGER CARROTS
The carrots need to be cut as uniformly as possible so that all the vegetables cook in the same amount of time. If the carrots are skinny (about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter), simply cut them into 2-inch pieces; if they're medium (about 1 inch in diameter), cut lengthwise in half before cutting into 2-inch pieces; if they're large (about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter), quarter lengthwise before cutting into 2-inch pieces. Blanching the carrots reduces the amount of oil necessary to stir-fry. Mince the ginger by hand; if you use a grater or microplane, the ginger will be too wet and will spatter in the oil.

Steps:
- In a 3-quart saucepan, bring 1 1/2 quarts water to a boil over high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the carrots and return to a full boil, about 5 minutes. Boil for 2 additional minutes. Drain the carrots in a colander, shaking well to remove excess water. Combine the vinegar, sherry and soy sauce in a cup. Combine the sugar, pepper and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in a small dish.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the ginger and stir-fry no more than 10 seconds, until the ginger is fragrant. Add the carrots and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the carrots are well coated in oil and ginger. Swirl the vinegar mixture into the wok, sprinkle with the sugar mixture, and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the carrots are crisp-tender. Immediately transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chives.

CHIVE BUTTERED CARROTS
I really love carrots--raw, steamed, baked, you name it. And if you add butter, all the better. This little side dish is easy as can be and comes from: tasteofhome.com and the photo as well.

CHIVE CARROTS
I really hate most cooked carrots, but these are actually good, even really good. Try them... This goes well with Country Fried Steak and Chive Carrots (or anything else).
