Recipe from Bee Wilson, Adapted by Eric Kim in New York Times Cooking

Ingredients

  • 9 ounces carrots, peeled, trimmed and cut into ½-inch coins (2 to 4 medium)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Salt

 Preparation

Step 1 – In a small saucepan with a lid, combine the carrots, butter, ¼ cup water and a fat pinch of salt.

Step 2 – Put the lid on the pot and place over high heat. Simmer vigorously until the carrots are tender, and the water and butter have reduced and become glossy, 5 to 8 minutes. Add a tablespoon or two of water if the pan begins to dry out. Serve warm.
