Glazed New Carrots Recipe
Glazed New Carrots make a delightful side dish, perfect for any season, especially during spring months. The new carrots are caramelized in a glossy and flavorful glaze made with butter, sugar, and beef broth, creating a rustic yet elegant dish. Complete with toasted sesame seeds or fresh herbs for a special touch.
Instructions
- Start by cleaning the baby carrots, removing the skin and leaving a small piece of stem for a rustic and elegant presentation.
- Take a saucepan and melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and a pinch of salt, stirring until you have a homogeneous mixture.
- Add the carrots to the saucepan and let them sauté for a few minutes, constantly turning them with a wooden spoon to caramelize them evenly.
- Pour the beef broth over the carrots and let them cook over medium-high heat with the pot uncovered. The broth will slowly reduce, leaving the carrots soft and coated with a glossy and flavorful glaze.
- Continue cooking until the liquid is almost completely absorbed and the carrots are tender.
Notes
To add a special touch to the recipe, you can complete the dish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or finely chopped fresh aromatic herbs such as parsley or thyme for a crunchy and fragrant contrast that will enhance the sweetness of the glazed carrots.
