Gluten Free Braised Carrots Ingredients:

Braised carrots are one of my favorite vegetables; or at least I should say, I love braised carrots when they are done right! For me, carrots are the best when they are balanced between savory and the natural sweetness is slightly enhanced, and slightly soft as well as slightly crunchy,  definitely not mushy; that’s when they are done right!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. Carrots
  • 2-4 tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Vedam’s Seasoning Blend
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 heaping tbsp Brown Sugar or Coconut Palm Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Parsley
  • 1/2 cup Chicken or Vegetable Stock
  • Fresh Parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Wash and peel carrots. Slice carrots to be diagonal disks about 1/2” thick, or about 2.5 - 4” long strips, and then cut again and again until they are similar to the size of French fries. It does not really matter how you cut them, as long as they are approximately all the same size so that they cook uniformly.
  • Using a non-stick sauce pan, melt butter on medium heat. Place carrot strips into pan and season with all spices except parsley, stirring or shaking pan to distribute evenly.
  • Pour enough stock to have about 3/4” - 1” of fluid in sauce pan. Cover and reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Remove lid, stirring again, and then taste for seasoning and tenderness; if needed, add more spice. When tenderness has been almost reached, reduce heat to low and leave uncovered for approximately 5 - 10 more minutes to allow to reduce by half.
  • When done, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve.
