Maple Carrots With Leeks image

I cut this recipe out of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel many years ago. I made it for Thanksgiving and it has been requested every year since.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 small leeks
2 tablespoons butter
16 medium carrots, peeled & thinly sliced
3 tablespoons maple syrup (I usually use more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Trim the dark green leaves from the leeks, and save for another use (such as making soup).
  • Split the leeks lengthwise, wash, blot dry and slice thinly; you’ll have about 1 1/2cups.
  • Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Saute the leeks, stirring often, just until softened, about 4 minutes.
  • Remove and set aside half the leeks.
  • Add carrots, 1/2 cup water and the maple syrup to the skillet.
  • Simmer, covered just until the carrots are tender, 15 to 17 minutes.
  • Add the salt.
  • Stir in the reserved leeks and serve.
