Ingredients
Carrot & Potato Ragout
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 3 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter chilled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ pounds large carrots peeled and cut into 2-inch-long, ½ inch thick sticks
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces small fingerling potatoes halved lengthwise
- 1 cup chicken broth stock, or water
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ¾ cup fresh peas blanched, or frozen peas
- 1 cup packed fresh baby spinach leaves
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon*
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the lemon zest, juice, vinegar, maple syrup, and water until combined.
- In a 5 to 6-quart Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and olive oil over low heat. Add the carrots and season with ¾ teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring often, until the carrots are browned and tender, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer the carrots to a large plate.
- Heat an additional tablespoon of butter in the Dutch oven, arrange the potatoes, cut side down in a single layer, and season with ¾ teaspoon salt.
- Cover partially and cook, undisturbed, until the potatoes are golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the chicken broth or water and bring to a boil before reducing the heat and simmering until the cooking liquid is reduced.
- Add the chopped garlic, carrots, green peas, spinach, and lemon juice mixture to the potatoes. Stir to combine and continue to cook until the spinach wilts.
- Remove from heat and stir in ½ tablespoons butter and fresh tarragon.
