Creamy Caramelized Onions And
Carrots
Servings: 8
Work Time: 20 Minutes / Total Time: 1 Hour 25
Minutes
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp butter
2 lg onions, thinly sliced
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp ground coriander seed (optional)
3 lb carrots, cut into 1/4" slices
1 1/2 c fat-free milk "plus" (we used Over the
Moon)
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh chives (optional)
Directions:
1. Melt butter in large, heavy-bottom pot with lid
over medium-low heat. Add onions and salt and cook, stirring
occasionally, until onions brown, about 50 minutes.
2. Stir in coriander, if using. Add carrots, cover,
and cook over medium heat until just tender, about 20 minutes.
3. Whisk milk and cornstarch until dissolved. Stir
into carrot mixture.
4. Heat until the liquid comes to a simmer. Season
with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve sprinkled with
chives, if using.
Creamed onions taste sweet, thanks to caramelizing
them and adding carrots
TIP: Make this vegetable dish hours or even
days before serving. If the sauce is too thick on reheating, just stir
in water bit by bit until it's the consistency you want.
