Wow your guests with this impressive but easy dish.
On Christmas Eve (or the day before you’re serving this) you can prepare the butter to save time on the big day and refrigerate.
INGREDIENTS
400g Baby carrots, scrubbed or peeled
250g unsalted butter, softened
Small bunch of fresh thyme
Small pinch of cumin seeds, crushed
Zest of 1 orange
INSTRUCTIONS
- Hold the thyme sprigs under a hot running tap for around a minute and when cool enough to handle, strip the leaves from the stalks.
- In a food processor blend the thyme leaves, cumin seeds, orange zest and butter.
- Scoop out the butter and lay in the centre of a sheet of greaseproof paper. Roll one edge of the paper over the butter and roll to make into a cylinder shape. Twist the ends (it will look like a Christmas cracker at this point!) and place in the fridge to harden up.
- Steam the carrots for around ten minutes then remove and place in their serving bowl.
- Cut some slices of the set butter and toss with the carrots before serving.
