Caramelised carrots

Preparation – 5 minutes

This side dish is very easy to make, and is ready in about 20 minutes. Slow cooking the carrots gives them a delicate flavour.

Start by washing the carrots. Peel the carrots, then cut them into angled slices. Finely chop the fresh parsley.

Finishing the caramelised carrots – 15 minutes

Heat a knob of butter and a splash of olive oil in a large frying pan over a low heat. Add the sliced carrots and cook over low heat, with the lid on the pan.

This will take about 10 minutes, depending on the size of the carrot slices. Next, add the white and brown sugars and stir well until the carrots have been caramelised. Finish by stirring in a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Garnish the carrot slices with the finely chopped parsley.

You can cook these caramelised carrots before preparing your main dish. You can reheat the caramelised carrots when you are ready to serve the main course.
