Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion , thinly sliced

2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2- inch rounds

1 1/2 ounces golden raisins

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

3 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice from about 3 medium oranges, such as navel

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1/2 tablespoon orange zest, from one orange

Directions

Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally until soft and light golden-brown, about 7 minutes. Add carrots and stir to coat in oil. Cook for an additional 3 minutes. Add the cinnamon and cardamom and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the honey, salt, pepper, and orange juice, and mix well to combine. Bring liquids to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes. Remove lid and increase heat to high, stirring occasionally, until liquid has reduced to a thin layer at the the bottom of the pot, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add butter and zest, stirring until the butter and sauce form a glossy glaze. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
