Directions
-
Peel 1 lb of carrots and cut them into uniform julienne strips.
-
Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the carrots, dry white wine, 1 cup of water, sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the skillet.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil.
-
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are crisp-tender and the liquid has reduced to a thick glaze, about 40 minutes.
-
If excess liquid remains after the carrots are tender, remove the carrots with a slotted spoon and set aside.
-
Continue cooking the remaining liquid until it reduces to a syrupy consistency.
-
Return the carrots to the skillet and toss gently to coat them evenly in the glaze.
-
Cook for an additional 2 minutes to ensure the glaze adheres to the carrots.
-
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with snipped fresh parsley before serving.
