I love using fresh herbs, there is something totally satisfying about taking beautiful, aromatic leaves, throwing them into a skillet and having it taste wonderful.

INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup finely diced onion
1½ pounds young carrots, scraped and sliced 1 inch thick diagonally
⅓ cup loosely packed fresh tarragon
1½ teaspoons maple syrup
⅓ teaspoon salt

METHOD
Heat a deep skillet on medium heat; add the oil and butter. When the butter is melted add the onions, and stir for a couple of minutes.

Add the carrots, and continue to stir for 6 to 7 minutes, depending upon the width of the carrots.

Add the tarragon leaves, ripping them apart as you add them to the skillet. Drizzle the maple syrup into the skillet, add salt to taste, and stir the carrots until they are glazed evenly, cooking approximately 3 to 4 minutes more.

 

Serves: 4
