How to Make Anise Carrots

  1. Wash and peel 1 pound of carrots. Cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices or rounds.
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook until crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. While the carrots cook, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of finely chopped yellow onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Drain the cooked carrots thoroughly.
  5. Return the carrots to the saucepan with the sautéed onions.
  6. Add 1 teaspoon of anise seeds (or 1/2 teaspoon anise extract) and 2 tablespoons of apricot preserves (or your favorite fruit preserves).
  7. Gently toss to coat the carrots evenly with the onion, anise, and preserves.
  8. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately as a side dish.
