Ingredients
2
Tablespoons
unsalted butter
2
Tablespoons
water
or chicken stock
1
small onion
finely chopped
2 - 3
carrots
diced in ¼” diagonally
2
garlic cloves
minced
2

honey
¾
teaspoon
salt
½
teaspoon
freshly ground pepper
½
teaspoon
thyme leaves
2
cups
frozen peas
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat.
Add the water, diced onion and carrots, minced garlic, honey, salt, ground black pepper, and thyme and bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce the heat to medium and cook until the carrots are just tender, about 8 minutes.
Add the peas, cover, and simmer until the carrots and peas are tender, about 5 minutes longer. Serve warm.
Notes
Cut the carrots into similar sizes so that they cook through evenly.
Cover the skillet when cooking the carrots. The trapped steam will help them to cook through.
If making ahead, let the carrots and peas cool completely before storing in the fridge.
