Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped shallot
- 125 ml dry white wine
- 125 ml vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and trim the carrots. Slice them into evenly sized sticks, about 2-3 inches long.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil.
Add the finely chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Add the carrots to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the buttery mixture and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the dry white wine and vegetable stock. Stir in the honey, salt, pepper, and thyme leaves.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly and thicken.
Check seasoning and adjust with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Sprinkle the finely chopped parsley over the carrots before serving.
Serve the Fancy Carrots in Wine Sauce warm as a side dish, and enjoy!
