Grains Sicilian Post3 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

Nonstick olive oil spray
2 lb Peeled baby carrots or regular
Carrots; thinly sliced
1/4 c Extra-virgin olive oil; divided
1/4 c Dried cranberries
3 tb Pine nuts
9 md Basil leaves; cut julienne strips
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat two large roasting pans with olive oil
spray. Arrange carrots in a single layer on the pans, mixing with 2
tablespoons of oil. Bake the carrots for 30 to 40 minutes, occasionally
stirring them so they don't burn. They should become soft and start to
brown. Remove and let cool. In a bowl, mix carrots with cranberries, pine
nuts, basil and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; refrigerate overnight.
To serve, let return to room temperature. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
Comments: The easy way to julienne basil is to stack several leaves one on
top of the other, roll them up like a cigarette, and then slice crosswise
into strips.
"The quality of the olive oil makes a tremendous difference in the flavor
of the dish," Burros writes. "Don't stint; use the best you can afford."
