- 1 cup diced, cooked chicken
- 1 cup uncooked rice

- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Beer-Braised Carrots
By MaryEllen
The combination of beer, caraway and brown sugar gives the carrots a taste similar to rye bread
- The slicing instructions result in very thick pieces, so they don’t overcook in the time it takes for the beer to cook away. Guarnaschelli uses Heineken, but I used Harp and it worked great.
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 12 medium to small carrots (about 1 1/4 pounds), peeled, stems removed and halved lengthwise
- Kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 1 (12-ounce) bottle lager
