Herb Braised Carrots Recipe

Herb Braised Carrots Recipe

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable stock
  • teaspoon thyme
  • teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • teaspoon ground sumac
  • teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • teaspoon chopped fresh sage
  • Salt and ground white pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1: Heat butter in a large pan over medium heat until fully melted.

Step 2: Add the carrots and chopped shallot to the pan. Stir and cook until the carrots are well-coated with butter and the shallots are soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Stir in vegetable stock, thyme, ground nutmeg, and ground sumac. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes.

Step 4: Remove the pan from heat. Garnish with chopped rosemary, sage, salt, and white pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

I didn't have baby carrots on hand, so I sliced up some regular carrots instead. I enjoyed the tangy taste that sumac brought to the dish, but I felt like the nutmeg didn't contribute much and could be skipped next time. If you're looking to elevate your usual carrot dish, give this recipe a try!
