Best 8 Quick Braised Carrots With Butter Recipes

STOVETOP-BRAISED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except lemon juice and garnish in a skillet with a cover; add a quarter cup of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and adjust heat so mixture simmers gently. Check every few minutes and add more water if necessary.
• Cook until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is almost gone, about a half-hour. Uncover and boil off remaining liquid if necessary, then taste and adjust seasoning, adding lemon juice as needed. Garnish and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

BRAISED AND GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Combine the carrots, chicken broth, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Simmer, covered, over medium heat until the carrots are tender and the liquid is cooked down. Add the remaining butter and brown sugar. Rotate the pan around to coat the carrots with the syrup.

EASY BROWN SUGAR GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine the carrots with the water, butter, and brown sugar in a medium saucepan. Toss together.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain a lively simmer, for about 20 to 30 minutes or until carrots are tender and the liquid has evaporated. Stir frequently to avoid scorching. Add more water if needed.
• The liquids will boil down and the water will evaporate, leaving the carrots cooked and nicely glazed with the brown sugar syrup.
• Season the carrots to taste with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy!

HERB BRAISED CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large pan over medium heat until completely melted. Add carrots and shallot to pan; cook and stir until the carrots are coated in butter and shallots are slightly soft, about 5 minutes.
• Stir vegetable stock, thyme, ground nutmeg, and ground sumac into the carrots; cover pan, reduce heat to low, and cook and stir until most of the liquid has disappeared, about 15 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat and garnish carrots with rosemary, sage, salt, and white pepper.

MAPLE-BRAISED CARROTS

Steps:

• Trim and peel 1 1/2 pounds carrots; halve lengthwise and crosswise. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons grated ginger and cook 30 seconds. Add the carrots, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 4 strips lemon zest, 2 thyme sprigs, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, a pinch of cayenne and 1/2 cup water; stir. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until tender but still saucy, 15 minutes. Discard the thyme; top with chopped chives.

NO-PEEL BRAISED CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable stock, then tip the carrots into a deep frying pan. Add the butter, sugar, fennel seeds and the hot stock. Season to taste.
• Simmer, uncovered, over a medium heat for 25-30 mins or until the carrots are cooked through and the liquid is reduced and glossy.

BRAISED CARROTS

Steps:

• Cut carrots into 1/8 in rounds or 1/4 in dice.
• In a wide, low pot melt butter over medium heat, add carrots and cook about 3 minutes, stirring frequently until carrots have a "glazed" look.
• Add, sugar and cook another minute.
• Add salt and 1/4 cup hot water, cover, reduce heat to medium low and let cook until carrots are done, checking and stirring occasionally. Add a little more water if necessary to prevent sticking. Dish should be almost dry when done.
• I usually cook for 10 minutes but cooking time can vary considerably due to age and sort of carrots as well as your your personal preference.
• When done serve sprinkled with a little parsley or chervil (which is nice with fish).

BUTTERED CARROTS

Steps:

• Place the carrots in a wide, shallow pan, add just enough water to cover them, then add the sugar and butter. Simmer over a medium heat until the liquid has evaporated and the carrots are cooked through - they should be glazed and shiny. Season and serve.
