Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 pounds baby carrots or regular carrots, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • cup butter
  • 2 tablespoon flour
  • 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup broth, chicken or vegetable
  • 1 peppers, green or red, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot bring water to a boil. Add carrots, cover and cook for about 10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet sauté onion in butter until tender.  
  3. Add flour and stir until incorporated.  Stir constantly for a couple of minutes.  Onion mixture will start to look dry.  Add bouillon and stir.  Add sugar and stir and then salt and pepper.  Continue to stir mixture.   
  4. Using a whisk, gradually add broth. Bring to a boil. Stir constantly. Cook for a few minutes or until thickened. 
  5. Add carrots and peppers, if using. Combine until thoroughly incorporated. Taste to see if salt is needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Slice the carrots (and onions and peppers) such that they’re roughly the same size. This will ensure that they’re all perfectly cooked.
  • Make sure you don’t overcrowd the pan with too many carrots. Doing this will cause them to soften and lose their crunch. Work in batches. 
  • Instead of slicing the carrots, cut them into sticks to bring a bit of variation to the dish. 
  • The quality of cookware you use also matters, especially when it comes to making stir-fries like these. Choose a heavy bottomed stainless steel or cast iron pan to ensure that the heat distributes evenly throughout the pan.
