Carrots stewed in butter and honey

July 25, 2021  •  Category:

This was how my mom used to cook carrots and I loved it for two reasons: It was yummy, and it was super easy. All it takes is throwing the carrots (peeled and cut) into the pot, adding a chunk of butter, a swirl of honey (or a dash of brown sugar), a dash of salt, a little water, covering the pot and letting it cook and steam. Eventually, the carrots will cook and caramelize.
