Carrots with Shallots, Sage, and Thyme

These braised carrots with shallots, sage, and thyme offer a sophisticated twist on a classic vegetable side dish. By simmering the carrots in savoury stock before finishing them in a fragrant herbed butter, you achieve a depth of flavour that balances natural sweetness with earthy, autumnal notes. The addition of nutmeg and crisp shallots provides a wonderful textural contrast, making this a standout accompaniment to any main course.

This vegetarian dish is an excellent choice for a Sunday roast or a festive dinner party, offering a vibrant splash of colour to the table. While the carrots are robust enough to stand up to hearty meats, they are delicate enough to pair beautifully with a crisp white wine. For the best results, ensure the shallots are slowly caramelised to a rich golden-brown to unlock their full sweetness.
