Method

  1. STEP 01

    Prep

    Peel the carrots, cut them length-wise in half and chop into 1cm halves. Mince the onions.

  2. STEP 02

    Glaze the onions

    Heat the butter and oil in a low to medium heated skillet, wide enough to allow proper evaporation. Glaze the onions without browning them.

  3. STEP 03

    Add carrots

    Add the diced carrots to the skillet and allow them a few minutes among the onions.

  4. STEP 04

    Evaporate

    Add the sugar across the carrots and onions. If the carrots and onions still contain enough moisture on their own, cover the skillet and allow the carrots to go soft; If not, add a small amount of water, enough to cover the carrots halfway and leave uncovered while the water boils off.

  5. STEP 05

    Finish

    Finish with salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

  • You can raise the heat at the very end to high to ensure the sugar caramelizes a bit on the carrots.
