Glazed Carrots in Sauternes is a classic French side dish that is perfect for a fancy dinner. The dish is made by cooking young carrots in a mixture of butter, Sauternes wine, and brown sugar until they are tender and glazed. The Sauternes wine adds a complex flavor to the dish that pairs well with rich main courses like roast beef or lamb. This recipe is easy to make, but it requires a bit of patience to get the glaze just right. You'll love the way these carrots look and taste on your dinner table!

Instructions

1.Peel the carrots and cut them into thin slices.
2.In a large skillet, melt the butter and add the sliced carrots. Cook for a few minutes until the carrots start to get tender.
3.Add the Sauternes wine, water, salt, and brown sugar. Stir well.
4.Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the carrots simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and glazed.
5.Remove the lid, increase the heat to high, and cook for another minute or two until the glaze is thick and syrupy. Stir in the chopped parsley and serve hot.

PROS

This recipe is a great way to make any meal more special.
Glazed carrots are a classic side dish that can be served with any main course.

The Sauternes wine adds a rich and complex flavor to the dish.
It’s a great way to use leftover wine that might otherwise go to waste.

CONS

The Sauternes wine is a bit expensive, and it may be hard to find in some areas.
If you don’t have it, you can substitute any other sweet white wine, or even apple juice.

This recipe takes a bit of time to cook, so it’s not ideal for a quick weeknight dinner.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Carrots are a great source of vitamin A, which is important for eye health. They’re also high in fiber and antioxidants, which can help protect against chronic diseases.
However, the glaze in this recipe contains sugar and butter, so it’s not the healthiest way to eat carrots. If you want to make this recipe healthier, you could use a steamer to cook the carrots instead of sautéing them, and use a sugar substitute or honey instead of brown sugar.
