Oven Baked Carrots In Sherry & Honey

Here is another recipe from Lynn Bedford Hall?s delightful cookbook ?More Food With Flair?. (I have already done a post on the book & her Spicy Chicken Casserole recipe over here if you?d like to read it.) This smells lovely when cooking & fills the house with a smell which screams ?Dinner Party? !

These oven baked carrots are simply delicious with their sweet sherry flavours & are ideal to serve as a side dish at a dinner party or special occasion meal. In fact, as Lynn points out in her book, they go really well with the Spicy Chicken Casserole mentioned above, especially since both dishes can be cooked in the oven at the same time, at the same temperature -:


Oven Baked Carrots in Sherry (from ?More Food With Flair? by Lynn Bedford Hall)

6 young Carrots, topped & tailed sliced into strips (around 200 gm?s)
25 ml Butter
50 ml Sherry
12,5 ml Honey
2 ml Salt
Parsley, chopped (to taste)

Place the carrots in an ovenproof dish big enough to fit them all as a single layer. Dot the butter over them, and then pour over the sherry, honey, salt & parsley which have all been mixed together. Bake, covered, at 160?C/325?F/Gas Mark 3 for around 1 hour & 10 minutes until done.
