Honey Butter Peas & Carrots (Slow Cooker) image

Peas and carrots always go together well as a side dish, this recipe lets the flavor blend with the slow cooker. For this I used my small 3 1/2 quart slow cooker.

Number Of Ingredients 10

500 gram(s) fresh carrots, peeled, sliced, (1 lb)
1 large onion, diced
1/4 cup(s) water
1/4 cup(s) honey
4 clove(s) garlic, minced
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) dried marjoram
1/8 teaspoon(s) white pepper powder
1/4 cup(s) butter, cubed
500 gram(s) frozen peas, cooked for 5-10 minutes on the stove top, (1 lb)

Steps:

  • Carrots and onion prepped. (I went the fancy route and cut each slice into shapes with a cutter, certainly not required.)
  • To your slow cooker, add the onion, water, honey, garlic, salt, marjoram, and white pepper, then stir together.
  • Add the carrots and cubed butter. Stir to combine. Cover and set to Low setting and cook for 3 hours. (I cubed the butter first, by the time I added it, 10 minutes later, it was very soft, no problem however.)
  • Check the carrots for tenderness at 3 hours and if tender or very near tender, stir in the drained peas.
  • Cover and cook for 30 minutes more. If the carrots are not tender, allow to cook for another hour, then add the peas.
  • Serve as a side dish with any meal, enjoy.
