Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅕ Pound carrots blanch, ¼" slices
- ¾ cup Cilantro chopped
- 2 limes juiced and zested
- ¼ cup Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oil Algrea or any other mild oil
- 2 Garlic cloves roughly chopped
- ½ teaspoon Creole Seasoning Tony's
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the carrots in boiling water for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they start to soften. Once cooked, remove them from the heat, strain, and transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients and mix well.
- In a sauté pan over medium to high heat, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil and heat.
- Add the mixture from the bowl to the heated pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the sauce has reduced to one-third of its original volume, remove the pan from the heat.
- Finally, top the dish with fresh cilantro and enjoy!

Notes
- Don’t skip the ice bath—it keeps your carrots from going mushy.
- Taste as you go: want more tang? Add extra lime. Prefer sweeter? Drizzle more honey.
- Go bold with herbs: cilantro wilts fast, so add extra right at the end for fresh flavor.
