Carrots with Marsala

 Sue has two Italian cookbooks and one of them had this recipe for Carrots with Marsala. It looked good, and simple to make. Since I had some frozen carrots and also some Marsala I tried it for dinner. The recipe said they would work well with the sweet Marsala as carrots are naturally sweet, I think a sweet Sherry would work also.

 All of us thought they were very good, I did use frozen carrots rather than the fresh the recipe calls for as I thought they would be less work and I always have some in the freezer. I will certainly make them again as I always am looking for new vegetable recipes as we aren't good about eating them. I am sure the fresh carrots would be good also. 

Carrots with Marsala

Serves 4

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter

1 pound carrots thinly sliced

1 teaspoon sugar

½ teaspoon salt

¼ cup Marsala or sweet Sherry

 Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and add the thinly sliced carrots. Stir to coat with the melted butter. Add the sugar and salt and mix well. 

 Stir in the Marsala and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. 

 Pour in enough water to barely cover the carrots/ Cover the pan and cook over moderate heat until the carrots are tender.* Remove the cover and cook until the liquid reduces almost completely. Serve hot.

*Mine took about 6 minutes to cook till done. This will vary on how thick your carrot slices are.
