Cardamom Carrots
Cardamom has a lovely, sweet floral note, and combined with the ginger, gives these carrots and exotic taste that is a nice counterpoint to all the savory goodness on your plate. These add both a little color and counter-balanced flavor. Perfect!
Instructions
1. In a large sauté pan with a lid, over medium- heat, heat the butter; add the ginger and cardamom seeds and sauté 1-2 minutes.
2. Add the carrots; toss until well coated.
3. Add the chicken stock.
4. Place a piece of parchment paper directly on top of the carrots, then cover with lid and cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated and the carrots are tender, but still have a little crunch to them, about 8-10 minutes.
5. Discard the ginger and cardamom seeds. Season with salt and pepper. Place in serving dish. Serve warm.
