Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 120 milliliters Marsala wine
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick coins or sticks.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and roughly chop the fresh parsley. Set them aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Let the butter melt completely.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet, followed by the honey. Stir well to coat the carrots.
Season the dish with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the wine has reduced into a glaze.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley for a fresh herbal note.
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and serve warm as a side to roasted poultry or grilled meats.
