Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots (peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 60 milliliters Irish whiskey
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 120 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter is melted, add the grated fresh ginger and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them in the butter and ginger mixture.
Step 4
Stir in the dark brown sugar, Irish whiskey, honey, water, and salt. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the carrots cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fork-tender.
Step 6
Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce into a thick, glossy glaze that evenly coats the carrots.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish for meats, roasts, or festive meals.
