Ingredients

  • 1 34 lbs carrots, peeled (about 8 to 10)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • salt
  • 1 pinch grated fresh nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 12 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 bunch chives, chopped

Method

  • Cut the carrots into matchsticks (one-fourth inch by 1-inch).
  • Transfer to a heavy saucepan and add the butter, sugar, pinch of salt, nutmeg and about 1 cup water.
  • Cover and cook over medium heat until the carrots are tender, about 20 minutes, adding more water if needed.
  • When the carrots are cooked, uncover and raise the heat and cook until the liquid is completely absorbed, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Gently stir the lemon juice into the carrots and bring to a boil.
  • Gently stir in the cream and boil a minute or so, just until the carrots are glazed.
  • Check for seasoning and turn out into a warmed serving dish.
  • Sprinkle with the chives and serve at once.
