Equipment

  • Slow Cooker (3½+ quart)

Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams fresh carrots, peeled, sliced, (1 lb)
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried marjoram
  • teaspoon white pepper powder
  • ¼ cup butter, cubed
  • 500 grams frozen peas, cooked for 5-10 minutes on the stove top then drained, (1 lb)

Instructions
 

  • Carrots and onion prepped. (I went the fancy route and cut each slice into shapes with a cutter.)
  • To your slow cooker, add the onion, water, honey, garlic, salt, marjoram, and white pepper. Stir together.
  • Add the carrots and cubed butter. Stir to combine. Cover and set to Low setting and allow to cook for 3 hours. (I cubed the butter first, by the time I added it, it was very soft, no problem however.)
  • Check the carrots for tenderness at 3 hours and if tender or very near tender, stir in the drained peas.
  • Cover and cook for 30 minutes more. If the carrots are not tender, allow to cook for another hour, then add the peas.
  • Serve as a side dish with any meal.
