Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 250 ml Whole milk
- 30 grams Butter
- 15 ml Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin, uniform rounds about 1/4-inch thick.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced carrots to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften slightly.
Pour in the milk, ensuring the carrots are mostly submerged. Add the honey, ground nutmeg, and salt, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the carrots cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Once the carrots are fully cooked and the milk has thickened into a creamy sauce, remove the saucepan from heat. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Transfer the milky carrots to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
