Sautéed Carrots with Miso Butter and Toasted Almonds
Sautéed Carrots with Miso Butter and Toasted Almonds is a side dish that elevates the humble carrot to a gourmet delight. The carrots, when sautéed to a perfect tenderness, retain their natural sweetness and earthy flavor, while a velvety miso-infused butter sauce adds a depth of umami and savory richness. The toasted almonds provide a satisfying contrast with their nutty crunch, creating a symphony of textures.
