Description
Simple steps and a few heavy-hitting flavor ingredients make regular boiled carrots fancy enough for any holiday meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 ½ cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ stick butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar (coarse sugar works well here)
- Scallions or chives for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the carrots, stock, curry powder, salt, cardamom, and allspice. Cover the pot and bring the stock to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil the carrots covered for five minutes.
- Remove the lid and continue to boil the carrots until the stock has all evaporated. Turn the heat off and stir the butter and sugar into the carrots.
- Transfer the carrots in one layer to a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper or cooking spray. Preheat the broiler to high.
- Right before serving, broil the carrots for 3-5 minutes until crispy on top – keep an eye on them! Garnish with something green if you’d like and serve immediately.
