Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash, peel, and slice the carrots into uniform pieces, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Finely chop the onion, fresh thyme, and sage.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the 1/2 stick butter (54g).
- Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, add the 8 tbsp chopped onion (80g) to the skillet.
- Sauté the onion until it's soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the sliced carrots (1280g) to the skillet with the sautéed onions.
- Sprinkle in the chopped thyme (2.40g) and ground nutmeg (0.55g).
- Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Pour the 1 cup chicken broth (240g) into the skillet with the carrots.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer.
- Cover the skillet and simmer the carrots for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- When the carrots are nearly done (about 5 minutes left), sprinkle the chopped sage (8g) over the top.
- Stir the sage into the mixture until well distributed.
- Continue cooking uncovered for the remaining time, allowing some of the liquid to evaporate and for flavors to meld.
- Once the carrots are tender and the flavors have melded nicely, turn off the heat.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Transfer the carrot medley to a serving dish.
Tips:
- To achieve uniform cooking, slice the carrots evenly.
- Use fresh thyme and sage for the best flavor, but dried herbs can be used in a pinch.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of ground nutmeg to suit your taste.
- For a vegan version, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and use a plant-based butter alternative.
