Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 15 min.
Provençal braised carrots
Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Prepare 19 cups carrots.

Stage 2 - 3 min.
Provençal braised carrots
Cut into 1/2 inch (1 cm) chunks.

Stage 3 - 3 min.
Provençal braised carrots
Put the carrot pieces into a bowl and add 12 tablespoons olive oil, 6 tablespoons herbes de Provence, salt and pepper.

Mix well.

Stage 4 - 1 min.
Provençal braised carrots
Transfer to an ovenproof dish. Add add 3 bayleaves and 3 sprigs rosemary.

Stage 5 - 2 min.
Provençal braised carrots
Take the dish over to near the oven, then add vegetable stock to the level of the carrots.

Stage 6 - 40 min.
Provençal braised carrots
Cook for about 40 minutes, until the carrots are meltingly soft.

If, towards the end of cooking, the carrots are not yet soft and the liquid has dried up, add more stock and return to the oven for a while longer.

Stage 7 - 10 min.
Provençal braised carrots
Prepare the couscous using the instructions on the packet.

Stage 8
Provençal braised carrots
Serve the carrots on a bed of couscous.
Remarks
Mixing carrots of different colours makes the dish prettier, but does not affect the flavour, so is not essential.

You can use a poultry stock instead of the vegetable stock, which will give the carrots a more marked flavour.
Keeping
1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

Home made.
