Instructions
-
Sauté Celery and Garlic: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped celery and minced garlic. Sauté until the celery becomes tender and fragrant.
-
Add Creamy Elements: Stir in the sour cream, dry white wine, and chopped parsley. Blend everything together until well combined and aromatic.
-
Prepare Carrots and Onions: Slice the carrot into 2-inch pieces. If using drained onions, add them at this stage.
-
Combine and Heat: Add the sliced carrots (and drained onions if using) to the creamy mixture in the saucepan. Heat thoroughly, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the sauce is heated through.
-
Serve: Once heated through, remove from heat and serve warm as a delectable side dish that complements any main course.
Tips for Success
- Consistency: Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more sour cream if desired.
- Wine Substitution: If preferred, substitute the dry white wine with chicken or vegetable broth for a non-alcoholic version.
- Garnish: Sprinkle extra chopped parsley on top just before serving for a fresh burst of flavor and visual appeal.
