Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 200 ml Champagne (or dry sparkling wine)
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Peel and trim the carrots. If using large carrots, slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick rounds. For baby carrots, leave them whole.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the carrots to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften slightly.
Pour in the champagne and bring it to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pan with a lid.
Cook the carrots for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the champagne has reduced by about half.
Stir in the honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the carrots evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the carrots and gently toss to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish.
