Though the spices in these carrots hint at North Africa, this dish will fit in well with a traditional North American meal. Ingredients:
2 lb medium carrots (about 12) |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/2 cup water |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste |
Directions:
1. Quarter carrots lengthwise, then cut into 2 1/2-inch pieces.
2. Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté carrots, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add brown sugar, stirring until sugar is melted. Stir in water, lemon juice, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne and simmer, covered, until carrots are tender and liquid is reduced to a glaze, 8 to 10 minutes.
