Ingredients

• 500 g carrots
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 small onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 250 ml lager or pale beer
• 250 ml vegetable broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 tsp sugar
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the carrots diagonally into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Mince the onion and garlic finely.

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced onion and garlic to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced carrots to the pan and stir to coat them with the butter and aromatics.

Step 5

Pour in the beer and vegetable broth, then add the bay leaf, thyme sprigs, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender but not mushy and the liquid has reduced slightly.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs from the pan. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Step 8

Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish alongside roasted meats, sausages, or hearty bread.
