Instructions
  1. Let’s learn how to sauté carrots and onions in a frying pan. Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Garlic can enhance the flavor of the dish, but it’s optional. Adding tomato paste will make the carrots and onions more vibrant and juicy, but you can omit it or substitute it with tomato sauce, canned tomatoes, or ketchup.
  2. Rinse the carrots under cold running water and peel them. Grate the peeled carrots using a coarse grater.
  3. In a preheated frying pan, add vegetable oil and place the grated carrots in it. Sauté the carrots over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for approximately 10 minutes. Keep the pan uncovered.
  4. Peel the onion and chop it as desired: into cubes, half rings, or finely. Add the chopped onion to the sautéed carrots and continue cooking together for another 5-10 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat slightly and add the minced garlic, tomato paste, salt, and ground black pepper to taste. You can also incorporate your favorite spices or dried herbs. Mix everything thoroughly. Continue sautéing the carrots until they are fully cooked, which should take about 15 minutes.
  6. The combination of carrots, onions, and tomato paste creates a delightful flavor profile. You can serve this dish on its own or as a side with pasta, rice, or boiled potatoes. Enjoy your meal!
Recipe Notes

Remember that the outcome of this dish can be influenced by how you prepare the carrots: grated carrots will soften and blend seamlessly with the other ingredients during cooking, while carrots cut into strips or cubes will maintain their shape.

It’s important to note that all oils have a safe cooking temperature until they reach their smoke point, beyond which they can burn and release toxic compounds, including carcinogens.

Selecting the right frying pan is crucial for the success of this recipe. An ill-suited pan can negatively impact the final result.
