Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup butter
2 pounds carrots, peeled, cut into equal-sized pieces
½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
½ cup bourbon whiskey
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  • When butter foams up, add carrots. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until liquid from carrots evaporates and carrots begin to brown around the edges, 5 or 6 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Carefully pour in bourbon. Cook and stir until bourbon is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in brown sugar. Stir until carrots are almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • When carrots are nearly tender, raise heat to medium-high to thicken the glaze, 15 to 30 seconds.
  • Season with cayenne pepper and ground black pepper. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup whiskey, such as Jack Daniel's
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Melt 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) of the butter in a large skillet (with a lid) over high heat. Add half the carrots and stir them around to brown them quickly, about 1 minute. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining carrots.
  • Pour the whiskey into the skillet, taking care if you're cooking over an open flame. Let the whiskey bubble up and cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low, add the other 1/2 stick of butter and stir it around until it's melted. Stir in the brown sugar and some salt and pepper. Add the leaves from 1 of the sprigs of thyme, then add the carrots. Reduce the heat to low, place the lid on the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Serve garnished with the remaining thyme sprig.
