Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Carrots     Glazed Carrot Recipes

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup butter
2 pounds carrots, peeled, cut into equal-sized pieces
½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
½ cup bourbon whiskey
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  • When butter foams up, add carrots. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until liquid from carrots evaporates and carrots begin to brown around the edges, 5 or 6 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Carefully pour in bourbon. Cook and stir until bourbon is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in brown sugar. Stir until carrots are almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • When carrots are nearly tender, raise heat to medium-high to thicken the glaze, 15 to 30 seconds.
  • Season with cayenne pepper and ground black pepper. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.

WHISKEY-GLAZED CARROTS

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup whiskey, such as Jack Daniel's
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Melt 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) of the butter in a large skillet (with a lid) over high heat. Add half the carrots and stir them around to brown them quickly, about 1 minute. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining carrots.
  • Pour the whiskey into the skillet, taking care if you're cooking over an open flame. Let the whiskey bubble up and cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low, add the other 1/2 stick of butter and stir it around until it's melted. Stir in the brown sugar and some salt and pepper. Add the leaves from 1 of the sprigs of thyme, then add the carrots. Reduce the heat to low, place the lid on the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Serve garnished with the remaining thyme sprig.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: For this recipe, it's best to use fresh, young carrots. Avoid carrots that are too thick or woody, as they will take longer to cook and may not be as tender.
  • Cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole. Otherwise, cut them into 2-inch pieces.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the carrots, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may result in some carrots being undercooked while others are overcooked.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best results.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: Carrots should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking will make them mushy and bland.
  • Season to taste: Once the carrots are cooked, season them with salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices you like. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Drunken carrots are a delicious and easy side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are also a great way to use up leftover carrots. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and healthy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give drunken carrots a try.
