Ingredients:
| 1 teaspoon | sugar |
| 1/2 teaspoon | ground black pepper |
| 1 pinch | salt |
| 1/4 cup | peanut oil |
| 3 tablespoons | unsalted butter, divided |
| 4 | large carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally 1/2-inch thick (about 1 pound) |
| 3/4 | inch fresh ginger, peeled and sliced into thin matchstick strips |
| 2 tablespoons | irish whiskey |
| 1/2 cup | chicken broth (or vegetable stock) |
Directions:
Combine sugar, pepper and salt. Set aside.
Heat the oil and half of the butter in a large skillet. Add carrots in a single layer and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, then start turning the slices with tongs and reduce heat if necessary. When slightly browned on both sides, transfer to a plate.
Clean skillet with paper towels. Add the ginger and cook over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes, until golden. Add to the carrots on the plate.
Add remaining butter, the whiskey and broth. Bring to boil, then simmer 3 minutes or until syrupy. Return carrots and ginger to pan, and swirl with the syrup for 1 minute.
Serve immediately.
