Cup of Yum
Notes
- Leftover cooking liquid makes a delicious flavor boost when added to soups, rice, or used to sauté other vegetables.
- Use a large enough skillet so the carrots can spread out in a single layer. Overcrowding leads to steaming instead of caramelizing, which affects both texture and flavor.
- Start with high heat to quickly defrost and get good caramelization, then reduce to medium heat to finish cooking.
- Makes an ideal emergency side dish when unexpected dinner guests arrive - most people always have the basic ingredients in their kitchen.
