Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 c butter
2 lb carrots peeled and cut in bite size pieces
1/2 c whiskey bourbob
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper
2/3 c pomegranate seeds for garnish
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In large skillet over medium high heat melt butter. Add carrots and cook until they begin to brown on the edges; stirring frequently. Approximately 7-8 minutes.
  • 2. Remove pan from heat and carefully add whiskey. Return pan to heat and cook until whiskey is almost completely gone; approximately 3 minutes. Stir frequently.
  • 3. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon and cayenne. Continue cooking until carrots are tender; stirring frequently. Raise heat to medium high for last minute to thicken glaze. Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Carrots: Opt for fresh, tender carrots with vibrant color. Younger carrots tend to be sweeter and cook faster.
  • Clean and Cut: Scrub the carrots thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Cut them into uniform sizes for even cooking. Thinner slices or smaller chunks will cook more quickly.
  • Use Good Quality Bourbon: The bourbon adds depth of flavor to the dish, so choose one that you enjoy sipping neat. A sweeter bourbon will result in a sweeter glaze.
  • Simmer Gently: Bring the mixture of bourbon, butter, and brown sugar to a simmer and let it bubble gently. This allows the flavors to meld and the glaze to thicken slightly.
  • Don't Overcook: Carrots should be tender but still retain a slight bite. Overcooking can make them mushy and bland.
  • Garnish Elegantly: Before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme over the carrots for an extra touch of color and flavor.
