Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 250 ml Vichy mineral water (or sparkling water)
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the carrots and trim the ends. Slice them into evenly sized rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a large sauté pan or shallow saucepan, combine the sliced carrots, Vichy mineral water (or sparkling water), unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt.
Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the liquid to reduce and thicken into a light glaze, stirring frequently to coat the carrots evenly.
Once the liquid has reduced and the carrots are glossy, remove the pan from the heat.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the glazed carrots before serving.
Serve the Carrots Vichy warm as a side dish with roasted meats or fish.
