Glazed carrots

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 750 g carrot(s), young small
• 100 g butter
• 40 g sugar
• Water
• 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Brush the carrots thoroughly under running water, scraping them very thinly if necessary – do not peel them. Heat 50g of butter in a saucepan, add the sugar, and caramelize, stirring constantly. Add the carrots and pour in enough water to just cover them. Add salt, bring to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat and let the carrots simmer slowly, covered, until the liquid has evaporated. Remove the lid at the end, if necessary. Add the remaining butter in small pieces to the side of the stove. Gently shake the pan so that the butter combines with the syrupy liquid and the carrots are “glazed” with it. Glazed carrots are delicious with all large roasts, roasted poultry, poached chicken breasts, veal, or pork escalopes.
