Forevermama's Sautéed Carrots With Red Onions
"I've been making these carrots since I was a very young girl. They are delectable served as a side dish with any meal. It's my husband's favorite vegetable, and he's not a big fan of vegies. It is always on my Holiday table. It pares great with roasted turkey and a beef roast!"

We enjoyed this dish very much -- loved the combo of the carrots and red onions. I did add a touch more brown sugar and I added a tiny bit of water as well. I also left out the basil. Definitely a keeper. Served with roasted chicken and steamed broccoli. Made for PRMR, June, 2014. -
One slight :oops: I got distracted and wasn't keeping as close an eye on the carrots as I should have and they slightly overcooks (though did not dry out in the least) but looked a little burnt but did not taste like they were at all and we very much enjoyed the flavour, I scaled back for 3 but next time for 3 of us will make a little extra, thank you ForeverMama, made for Went To Market tag game.
