Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Carrots
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1.5 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 3 tbsp Heavy cream
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into evenly sized sticks or rounds, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the Dijon mustard and honey, mixing until fully combined.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Continue stirring until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the mustard sauce. Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
