Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter, unsalted
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds

  • 1 1/4 pounds carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise (12 carrots)
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar, light (packed)

How To Make beer braised carrots

  • Step 1
    Heat a skillet (large enough to hold carrot halves in a single layer) over medium-high heat and add butter.
  • Step 2
    When butter has melted, add coriander and caraway seeds and toss to coat with the butter. Toast for a minute.
  • Step 3
    Add carrot halves and toss to coat with the butter. Season with salt and add the brown sugar.
  • Step 4
    Continue cooking over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and coats the carrots, about 1 minute. Add beer and continue cooking until carrots are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 25 to 30 minutes. (If beer cooks down, add a little water to finish cooking.)
  • Step 5
    Serve immediately.
