Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g carrots
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 250 ml lager or pale beer
- 250 ml vegetable broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tsp sugar
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots diagonally into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Mince the onion and garlic finely.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced onion and garlic to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots to the pan and stir to coat them with the butter and aromatics.
Pour in the beer and vegetable broth, then add the bay leaf, thyme sprigs, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender but not mushy and the liquid has reduced slightly.
Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs from the pan. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a side dish alongside roasted meats, sausages, or hearty bread.
