Mmmm Marsala Carrots

I wasn't a fan of carrots until I had butter carrots for the first time. Cooking with butter makes everything better, right?! My husband has made this recipe a couple times and tonight was my turn. Not only were the carrots delicious they were super easy too.

Ingredients:
5 carrots
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup marsala

Directions:
Bring pot of water to boil. Skin the carrots and slice. Add carrots to boiling water and cook until easily pierced with a form. Heat skillet and add melt butter. As butter browns add the olive oil and coat the entire surface. Add carrots and resist the urge to stir right away. You want the carrots to brown on each side. Add the marsala and let simmer, stirring occasionally. Once all liquid has been absorbed you are ready to serve.

Notes: 
If you don't have marsala on hand you can serve as brown butter carrots, just skip the last step. They are tasty either way! There are many recipes out there for baked or glazed carrots too.
