Ingredients
5 items
- Carrots 2 lbs
- Ginger 1 tsp
- Orange 1
- Honey 2 tbl
- Unsalted butt 2 tbl
Prep
Before you start
- Carrots - Cut diagonally in 1-inch slices to yield 5 cups
- Ginger - mince to yield 1 tsp
- Orange - zest to yield 1 tsp, juice to yield 1/2 cup — this is the unglamorous shit that makes the good part happen.
Method
Instructions
- Place 1/2 cup of water, 2 tbl unsalted butter, the honey, 2 tsp salt and the ginger in a large saute pan and bring ot a boil. Add the carrots, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until all the water has evaporated.
- Add the orange zest and orange juice to the pan, tossing well, while gazing at the pan with pure, unreasonable devotion. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, until the carrots are al dente (tender but still resistant when you bite) and the sauce glazes the carrots. Add salt and pepper to taste.
