Glazed Carrots with Honey and Orange

Ingredients

• 500 g Carrots (Peeled; if necessary, peel slightly more thickly at the thicker parts near the bottom, and trim the ends diagonally.)
• 30 g Butter
• 3 EL Honey
• 1 Organic orange (Use the juice and some zest; the peel should be untreated.)
• 350 ml Water (Approximately 300–400 ml; use enough to fully or almost cover the carrots.)
• Salt (To taste.)
• Pepper (To taste.)

Steps

1. 1

   Peel the carrots. If the lower ends are thicker, run the peeler over those areas several times if necessary. Trim the tops slightly and cut the ends diagonally.

2. 2

   Place the carrots, butter, salt, pepper, and honey in a saucepan or large frying pan.

3. 3

   Add some orange zest and the juice of the organic orange to the carrots.

4. 4

   Pour in cold water until the carrots are fully or almost covered. Approximately 300–400 ml of water is used in total.

5. 5

   Bring the liquid to a boil. Optionally, place a piece of parchment paper directly on the carrots as a cartouche so they cook evenly and the liquid reduces in a controlled manner.

6. 6

   Simmer the carrots for 10–15 minutes, until tender or perfectly cooked and the liquid has mostly reduced. The carrots should be beautifully glossy and glazed; in the video, this was achieved after approximately 12 minutes.

Notes

The recipe specifies approximately 300–400 ml of water; in the video, enough cold water is used to cover the carrots. The cooking time depends on the size and thickness of the carrots. A parchment-paper cartouche is mentioned in the video as an optional technique.
