Sweet springtime carrots have an indulgent twist when cooked with schmaltz, a rendered animal fat that can often be found at the butcher's counter. For a vegetarian version, substitute the same amount of butter or nondairy margarine for the schmaltz.

Ingredients
Method
Cut carrots in half lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) pieces.
In large skillet, heat schmaltz over medium-high heat; cook shallots, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add carrots, tossing to coat; cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Add 3/4 cup of the water, honey and thyme; cook until no liquid remains, about 5 minutes.
Stir in remaining water; cook, stirring, until carrots are tender and no liquid remains, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to combine.
