A quick and easy carrots dish that can be served as a side for a variety of dishes.
"*" See Kitchen Notes for more information or links to special ingredients.
Add carrots. Cover, reduce to a simmer and cook 4 minutes, stirring once after 2 minutes.
Bourbon alternatives – If you don't cook with alcohol, use apple cider or apple juice. Either of these produce excellent results! However, reduce or omit any additional sweetener.
The fats – For vegan, substitute butter with olive oil or a truffle oil.
Herbs and spices – Here is where you can go crazy. The dill can be substituted with thyme, tarragon, or sage. You could even use an herb blend.
Making it sweet – To add a sweetener or not is your preference. For me, it all depends upon what I’m serving the carrots with and if sweet carrots would complement the main entree’ or not. My two preferences for the sweetener are honey and maple syrup. However, if you do use a sweet apple juice or cider, omit any additional sweetness. The apple juice will make it sweet enough.
