Ingredients
- 300 grams pearl onions
- 300 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the pearl onions and blanch them for 2 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, then peel the skins off by trimming the root end and squeezing gently to pop the onion out of its skin.
Step 2
Peel and slice the carrots into uniform sticks or rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Step 4
Add the pearl onions and carrots to the skillet, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften slightly, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the vegetables and stir to coat.
Step 6
Pour in the vegetable broth, and add salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 7
Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the carrots and onions are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glaze.
Step 8
Uncover the skillet, stir, and increase the heat slightly to allow the glaze to thicken further, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if required.
Step 10
Transfer the glazed vegetables to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
