Use an inexpensive lager such as Heineken. Serve the expensive stuff in a glass :)

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 Tbsp butter, unsalted
1 tsp coriander seeds
1/2 tsp caraway seeds
1 1/4 lb carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise (12 carrots)
3 Tbsp brown sugar, light (packed)
12 oz lager beer

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a skillet (large enough to hold carrot halves in a single layer) over medium-high heat and add butter.
  • 2. When butter has melted, add coriander and caraway seeds and toss to coat with the butter. Toast for a minute.
  • 3. Add carrot halves and toss to coat with the butter. Season with salt and add the brown sugar.
  • 4. Continue cooking over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and coats the carrots, about 1 minute. Add beer and continue cooking until carrots are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 25 to 30 minutes. (If beer cooks down, add a little water to finish cooking.)
  • 5. Serve immediately.
