Honey Lime Carrots and Radishes with Cilantro

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb. carrots whatever colors you can find
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 liter lime flavored water
  • 1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 1/2 c. cilantro chopped
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1 lime zest and juiced

Instructions

  1. Peel your carrots carefully as not to take off to much of the carrots. These are tiny carrots and I wanted to make sure I had something left and not just peelings. Do not peel the radishes if you are using them.
  2. Put about 2 cups of the lime water (or other flavored water) in a saucepan and boil the carrots until almost tender. I cooked the radishes separately in the water because I didn't want to lose all the red color and they seem to fade fast.
  3. Remove the carrots and radishes from water and set aside.
  4. Heat the butter in a skillet until it starts to sizzle. Add in the carrots and radishes and stir around for 3-4 minutes until they are thoroughly cooked. Drizzle with the honey, lime zest and juice, salt and pepper and stir until coated with mixture. Add in the cilantro right before serving.
