Glazed Baby Carrots With Currants
Carrots are one of my favorite veggies. They go with so many dishes, and always add bright color to the plate. Here, currants harmonize with the sweet carrots. The carrots can be prepared 1 day ahead, reheat in a covered skillet with 2 tablespoons water.
Steps
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat.
Add the baby carrots and cook until barely tender , about 5 minutes.
Drain and rinse under cold water.
Drain well.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the carrots , brown sugar and 1 / 4 cup water.
Cook , stirring often , until the carrots are heated through and the liquid has evaporated into a glaze , about 5 minutes.
Stir in the currants.
Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.
