Zanahorias glaseadas con miel (zanahorias glaseadas rápidas a la sartén)

Ingredientes

• 1 lb carrots (450g)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• 1/2 teaspoon orange zest (about 1/4 orange)
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• chopped parsley (to serve)

Preparación

1. 1

   Peel the carrots. Slice the carrots on the diagonal about 1 1/2-inch (4cm) thick (you cut them as you like, into small chunks or into slices, I just think these diagonal slices make for a nicer presentation). Make sure the carrot pieces are of even thickness so they cook evenly. Cut very thick slices in half lengthwise.

2. 2

   Add the carrots into a medium/large pan and pour boiling water over them (just until they are covered). Bring to a boil, cover the pan and cook them until tender, about 8-10 minutes (the cooking time will depend on the thickness of carrots).

3. 3

   When the carrots are fork-tender drain them. Wipe the pan with a dry paper towel.

4. 4

   Melt butter in the pan, add garlic and cook over medium-low heat for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add all the other ingredients and cooked carrots.

6. 6

   Cook the carrots over medium-high heat, stirring from time to time, until the liquid is evaporated, the glaze is thickened and coats the carrots.

7. 7

   Season the carrots with salt and pepper, sprinkle with chopped parsley.

8. 8

   Enjoy!
