This comes from The complete Italian Vegetarian cookbook and is so easy. The slow cooking of the carrots makes them incredibly sweet. The book suggest greated Parmigian-Reggiano cheese as an optional addtion add to the top after cooking. We have not tried using the cheese as these are so good as is.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 carrots (about 1 1/4 pounds)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
salt
parmigiano-reggiano cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel and cut the carrots on the bias into 1/4 inch thick ovals.
  • Place the carrots and butter in a large skillet. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until the carrots shrink and start to brown, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Season with salt to tast, if using parmigiano-reggiano cheese sprinkle on top and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, firm carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid carrots that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Peel the carrots thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the carrots from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many carrots to the pan, they will not cook evenly and will become mushy.
  • Cook the carrots over medium heat: This will help them caramelize and develop a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Stir the carrots frequently: This will prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Season the carrots to taste: Once they are cooked, add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: They are best enjoyed when they are hot and crispy.
