Glazed Curried Carrots with Currants and Almonds
Sweet carrots finished with warm spices, dried fruit, and toasted nuts.
Why This Recipe Works
These glazed carrots take on a savory depth with the addition of curry powder and chewy currants. It is a fast side dish that balances sweetness with warm spices and a necessary crunch from toasted almonds.
Instructions
Combine the carrots, water, butter, sugar, salt, and curry powder in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Bring the liquid to a boil, then cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer until the carrots are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the currants and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has evaporated and the carrots are coated in a shimmering, syrupy glaze, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the toasted almonds. Serve immediately while the glaze is hot and glossy.
