Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Carrots
- 1 large Onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 clove Garlic (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin julienne strips (matchstick-sized pieces).
Peel and thinly slice the onion lengthwise into julienne-style strips.
If using garlic, peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the onions and sauté for 2 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the julienned carrots to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onions.
Season with salt and black pepper, and stir to ensure even seasoning.
If using garlic, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Cook the carrots and onions for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still have a slight crunch.
Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
