It is a side dish that almost makes itself. FYI: If you follow this cooking method, the carrost will always turn out perfectly cooked. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make side essentials: simple sautéed carrots

  • 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • 2
    Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 3
    Wash and peel the carrots, and cut on the bias into 1/4 inch (.6cm).
  • 4
    Chef’s Note: If you thoroughly wash the carrots, you do not need to peel them. That makes the carrots more rustic.
  • 5
    Place the carrots into a pan, and add about 1/2 cup water.
  • 6
    Bring the pan to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • 7
    Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook for 6 – 7 minutes.
  • 8
    Remove the cover, and add the butter.
  • 9
    Continue to stir until the remainder of the water evaporates, about 1 – 2 minutes.
  • 10
    Remove from heat and season with some salt, pepper, and caraway seeds.
  • 11
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • 12
    Sprinkle on some chopped parsley (if using), and serve as a side with your favorite foods. Enjoy.
  • 13
    Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
