Pretty, easy, and excellent with meat. Prep and Cook Time: about 30 minutes. Notes: MeMe Pederson adds these pretty little vegetables to the plate only as a garnish. If you'd like to serve it as a side dish, triple the recipe.

Ingredients
- 36 baby carrots with tops
- 10 ounce red pearl onions
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Preparation
- 1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, peel carrots and trim tops to 1/2 in.
- 2. Boil onions 3 minutes; drain and cool in a large bowl of cold water until no longer warm. Cut off their root ends and peel them (often they'll just pop right out of their skins).
- 3. In a large nonstick frying pan, combine onions, carrots, sugar, butter, salt, and enough water to come about halfway up vegetables. Cover and cook over medium-high heat, 5 minutes.
- 4. Uncover and cook, stirring frequently, until onions and carrots start to brown and are tender-crisp, 5 to 10 minutes longer.
