Carrots
Carrots are this week’s Good Friends Good Food vegetable. I love them because they are so versatile. This recipe is a favorite way to prepare them for me. Though this is certainly a carrot dish, the caramelized onions are what makes it special.
It does take some time to prepare this side dish because the onions have to cook slowly to caramelize. However, it is quick and easy to assemble. While it has to cook close to an hour, it just requires stirring occasionally.
Carrots with Caramelized Onions Recipe
Ingredients
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Fennel Seeds
3 Tbsp Butter
2 Large Onions, peeled, cut into six pieces with stem end intact (approx 2 c.)
Carrots, peeled and cut into 2 inch pieces, 16 oz.
1 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
Directions
Firstly, combine salt, pepper, and seeds in a small bowl. In large, non-stick skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter. Add onions and half of salt mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden, about 30-35 minutes. Add carrots and remaining butter and salt mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are softened and golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Lastly, stir in parsley and serve.
