Ingredients
6 medium carrots, sliced diagonally 1/4 inch thick
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon Citrus Salt, or to taste
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or fresh parsley or mint)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
Directions
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, combine the sliced carrots, stock, grated ginger, and honey. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cover the skillet and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, until the carrots begin to soften.
Test the carrots for doneness by piercing with a paring knife. The knife should pass through with slight resistance—you should feel gentle resistance when pulling the knife out. The carrots should still have a slight bite to them, not be completely soft.
Uncover the skillet and increase the heat to high. Allow the cooking liquid to boil and reduce for 1 minute, concentrating the glaze.
Add the butter (if using) and fresh thyme leaves. Stir gently to melt the butter and distribute the thyme throughout the carrots.
Season to taste with Citrus Salt, stirring gently to combine. Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm.
