Holiday Cooking with Friends: Vichy Carrots


Vichy carrots have recently become a staple of the Gabler family Thanksgiving celebration.  They were made on a whim a couple of years ago but are consistently requested and will probably be a part of our dinners for years to come.  So, what better way to share a great meal than with great friends:


Please excuse the phantom hand.




Vichy Carrots

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Salt to taste
Melt the butter in a large cooking dish.  Once melted, add the sugar and the onion and saute until the onion is translucent, about five minutes.  Add the carrots, water and salt and bring to a boil (depending on your dish, you may need to add more to less water - the carrots should just be cover with water).  Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cover with a tightly fitting lid.  Stir occasionally.  

Remove the dish from heat once the carrots are soft and most of the liquid has reduced.
