Ginger Whiskey Glazed Carrots
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of sea salt flakes
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil I use avocado oil
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 to 5 large carrots about 1 pound, trimmed and cut down the center (You can also cut rounds if you prefer)
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger peeled and cut into thin strips
- 2 Tablespoons Irish Whiskey I used Jamesons Cask Edition
- ½ cup chicken stock or vegetable stock
Instructions
- Mix the sugar, pepper and salt and set aside.
- Heat the oil and half of the butter in a large skillet. Add the carrots in a single layer and sprinkle with the sugar mixture. Cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, then turn the slices with tongs and the heat if necessary. When slightly browned on both sides and starting to blacken at the edges, transfer the carrots to a plate.
- Clean out the skillet with a paper towel. Add the ginger and cook over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden. Add the ginger to the carrots.
- Add the remaining butter, the whiskey, and the stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 3 minutes or until syrupy. Return the carrots and ginger to the skillet, and swirl with the syrup for 1 minute. Serve immediately.
