GLAZED CARROTS WITH FRESH DILL



Glazed Carrots With Fresh Dill image

I grew up on glazed carrots prepared with brown sugar, butter and whatever marmalade my mother had on hand. However, I've grown to prefer this method, where the sugar dissolves more easily, and the carrots turn slightly brown as liquid reduces and forms a glaze. Dried dill will work for color but fresh works best for depth of flavor.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and free of blemishes. Freshly-picked carrots are best, as they will have the sweetest flavor.
  • Peel the carrots thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will ensure that they cook at the same rate.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the carrots will steam instead of sautéing, and they will not brown properly.
  • Cook the carrots over medium heat: This will allow them to cook through without burning.
  • Add the dill butter at the end of cooking: This will prevent the butter from burning and will allow the dill flavor to shine through.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Carrots with dill butter is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be ready in just a few minutes. The carrots are tender and flavorful, and the dill butter adds a touch of brightness and freshness. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
