Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 1 clove garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 150 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh parsley. Set both aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and stir to coat them in the butter.

Step 6

Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the carrots cook for 8-10 minutes, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 7

Remove the lid and let the remaining water evaporate completely. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Once the water has evaporated, lower the heat to medium-low and pour the vinegar mixture over the carrots.

Step 10

Stir well to coat the carrots evenly and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens and clings to the carrots.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish, and enjoy the tangy, spicy flavors of your Nippy Carrots!
