Best Honeyed Carrot Thyme Loaf Recipes

HONEY-GLAZED CARROTS WITH FRESH THYME

Steps:

• Over medium-high heat, add butter to a large pan and fry carrots for about 5 minutes. While carrots are cooking, combine the broth, honey, sherry, garlic, mustard, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
• Pour in liquid mixture, bring to a boil, season with salt and pepper. Throw in a bunch of fresh thyme sprigs (and I just leave them whole!) reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Uncover, and raise heat to medium-high, cooking for another 8-10 minutes, or until carrots are tender. Bring temperature to high heat if you find you still have a lot of liquid in your pan after 8 minutes. You still want some liquid, but not where it is soupy.
• Remove thyme sprigs and serve beside your main dish!

HONEY & THYME CARROTS

Steps:

• Tip the carrots into a wide shallow pan so they are no more than a double layer. Add the butter, honey and about 500ml or 2cm of water, the leaves from the thyme and a pinch of salt. Partly cover with a lid, turn the heat up high and boil everything down until the carrots are tender, cooked through and sticky with honey. If they aren't tender enough by the time the water has evaporated, add a splash more. Once glazed, turn them over in the sticky juices and serve, with extra thyme on top.
