Preparation method
- Peel the carrots and cut them in half lengthwise
- Cut each resulting piece in half crosswise on a diagonal
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over low heat
- Add the olive oil and arrange the carrots with the cut side facing down
- Season with salt and let them brown for 7 minutes without moving them
- Turn the carrots over using tongs
- Season again with salt and black pepper
- Let the other side brown for another 3 minutes
- Combine the honey, allspice, lime juice, and water in a separate bowl
- Pour this mixture into the skillet
- Cover and cook for approximately 10 minutes
- Check until the carrots are tender but still firm and the liquid has reduced by half
- Turn off the heat and add the cold butter

- Toss the carrots well to coat them in the sauce
- Finish with mint and parsley leaves before serving
Observations
This recipe transforms carrots into a sophisticated dish with ease. The secret lies in the slow cooking process with the glaze, which ensures a texture that is tender yet firm, finished with a butter emulsion that adds a glossy shine and intense flavor.
