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 fresh, young carrots with bright orange color and smooth skin.
  • Peel the carrots thinly: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will ensure that they cook at the same rate. You can cut them into matchsticks, slices, or rounds.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the carrots, make sure there is enough space for them to spread out in a single layer. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the carrots well: Salt, pepper, and dill are all classic seasonings for carrots. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, cumin, or coriander.
  • Cook the carrots until tender: The carrots should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the carrots.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: Carrots are best served hot or warm. You can garnish them with fresh dill or parsley.

Conclusion:

Carrots with dill is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It is a healthy and flavorful way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that the whole family will love.
