Buttered Carrots with Shallots and Tarragon
From Cook's Country
We abandoned delicate ribbons for our Buttered Carrots with Shallots and Tarragon (which were a little too labor-intensive for our tastes) and instead sliced the carrots into thin pieces. The large amount of butter in some recipes we tasted resulted in greasy carrots. By cutting back just a little, we eliminated any greasiness.
Reducing the liquid exuded from the carrots on the stovetop concentrated its flavor. As an unexpected bonus, the milk solids in the butter began to brown, which added a nutty, caramelized dimension to the dish.
Serves 6 to 8
Slice the carrots as evenly as you can so they cook at the same rate.
