**Glasierte Karotten**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound of fresh carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
– 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup of brown sugar
– 1/2 cup of vegetable or chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Begin by preparing the carrots. Peel them and slice them into 1/4-inch rounds. This size ensures that the carrots cook evenly and absorb the delicious glaze.
2. In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the sliced carrots to the skillet. Sauté the carrots for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
3. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the carrots in the skillet. This will add a rich sweetness to the dish and help create a beautiful glaze as the sugar caramelizes.
4. Pour the vegetable or chicken broth into the skillet with the carrots and brown sugar. The broth will help to tenderize the carrots and create a flavorful base for the glaze.
5. Add the Dijon mustard to the skillet. The mustard adds a tangy kick to the glaze, balancing out the sweetness of the brown sugar.
6. Season the carrots with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that the broth and mustard also add flavor, so you may not need too much additional seasoning.
7. Stir the carrots gently to coat them in the glaze and seasoning. Continue cooking the carrots for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender and the glaze has thickened.
8. Once the carrots are cooked to your liking and the glaze has thickened, remove the skillet from the heat. Give the carrots a final gentle stir to coat them in the glaze evenly.
9. If desired, sprinkle the Glasierte Karotten with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and herbaceous freshness.
Enjoy these Glasierte Karotten as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
