Preparation
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring broth to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat, and simmer.
In a large skillet, melt 1/4 c butter over medium heat; add carrots and sugar. Cook for 8 minutes or until carrots are lightly browned and tender. Remove from heat, and set aside.
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes or just until tender.
Add rice, and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes or until rice begins to brown.
Add wine, and cook stirring constantly, until liquid is absorbed.
Add broth, about 3/4 c at a time, allowing liquid to be absorbed after each addition, stirring constantly, until rice is tender and creamy.
Add cream, next 5 ingredients, carrots, and remaining 2 Tbsp butter, stirring to combine. Garnish with dill, if desired.
