Materiaal

  • 1 snijplank
  • 1 dunschiller
  • 1 koksmes
  • 1 stoofpan with cover

Ingredients
 

  • 1 knob of butter
  • 1 onion
  • 1 kg carrots (sweet)
  • 1 cube of vegetable stock
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 sprigs of thyme
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 0,5 l water

Instructions

  • Shred 1 onion.
  • Clean 1 kg carrots with the peeler and cut into slices with a chef’s knife.
  • Light the casserole with 1 knob of butter and add a shredded onion. Let stew for a few minutes.
  • Then add the sliced carrots.
  • Add 1 cube of vegetable stock followed by 0,5 l water (just enough so that all roots are submerged).
  • Add 2 bay leaves and 2 sprigs of thyme and 1 tbsp. honey.
  • Put the lid on the stew pot and simmer until almost done. This can vary greatly due to the thickness of the carrot slices and the desired doneness. For me, this is quickly 15 to 20 minutes.
  • When the carrots are almost cooked I remove some liquid from the stew and add 1 tbsp cornstarch. I remove excess liquid from the stew pot before adding the cornstarch mixture again. Gently stir.
  • Before serving, remove the fresh herbs (bay leaf/thyme).
