A little butter, honey and a few spices create a wonderfully aromatic glaze that brings the naturally sweet flavour of carrots to life. Try using a mix of orange and yellow carrots for a colourful presentation. If you can't find whole cardamom pods, use a generous pinch of ground cardamom instead.

Ingredients

Method

In large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat; cook garlic, ginger and cardamom pods, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, salt, pepper and nutmeg; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 4 minutes.

Add honey and 1/2 cup water; cook, stirring often, until carrots are tender-crisp and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Discard cardamom pods. Stir in tarragon and lemon juice.

Tip from The Test Kitchen: If you find the anise-like flavour of fresh tarragon overwhelming, substitute with chopped fresh parsley, which is milder in flavour.
