Ingredients

3 large fresh marjoram sprigs
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 pounds medium carrots, peeled, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup mild-flavored (light) molasses
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Instructions

Remove leaves from marjoram sprigs. Chop enough leaves to measure 2 teaspoons; reserve stems. Melt butter with oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrots; season with salt and pepper. Toss with tongs until evenly coated and sizzling, about 4 minutes. Add orange juice, 1/2 cup water, molasses, and marjoram stems. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until carrots are almost tender, about 12 minutes. Uncover; increase heat to high and boil until juices are reduced to syrup and carrots are tender, about 5 minutes. Discard marjoram stems. Add parsley and chopped marjoram; toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
