Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 250 ml Whole milk
- 30 grams Butter
- 15 ml Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin, uniform rounds about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the sliced carrots to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften slightly.
Step 4
Pour in the milk, ensuring the carrots are mostly submerged. Add the honey, ground nutmeg, and salt, stirring to combine.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the carrots cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 6
Once the carrots are fully cooked and the milk has thickened into a creamy sauce, remove the saucepan from heat. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Step 7
Transfer the milky carrots to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
