Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (450g) heirloom carrots
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • ¼ cup (120ml) vegetable stock
  • ¼ cup (120ml) fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) brown sugar
  • 6-8 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 4 small bay leaves
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Method

Scrub and trim the carrots, leaving a ½ inch (13 mm) of the green tops.  If carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise.  

Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.  Crush the garlic and add to the pan along with the thyme.  Saute for 1 minute.  Stir in the vegetable stock, orange juice, brown sugar and bay leaves.  Add the carrots and season with salt and pepper.  Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer for 10-15 minutes until the carrots are tender.  

Uncover and let all the liquid reduce allowing the carrots to caramelize, gently turn them over on all sides until fully glazed.  

Serve immediately.
