Ingredients

• 300 grams pearl onions
• 300 grams carrots
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the pearl onions and blanch them for 2 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, then peel the skins off by trimming the root end and squeezing gently to pop the onion out of its skin.

Step 2

Peel and slice the carrots into uniform sticks or rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.

Step 4

Add the pearl onions and carrots to the skillet, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Sprinkle the brown sugar over the vegetables and stir to coat.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth, and add salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the carrots and onions are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glaze.

Step 8

Uncover the skillet, stir, and increase the heat slightly to allow the glaze to thicken further, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if required.

Step 10

Transfer the glazed vegetables to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
