Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
225 grams Carrots; trimmed (sliced on the diagonal 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick)
25 grams Unsalted butter*
150 millilitres Vegetable stock
½ teaspoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Fresh minced parsley
1 teaspoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
Salt and pepper

Directions

*(Vegans use vegan margarine or oil instead of butter) A classic way of cooking carrots, particulary good in summer using fresh baby carrots and parsley from the garden.

Cook the carrots in boiling salted water for 5 minutes, or until they are just tender. Drain them in a colander, and refresh them under running cold water. In a frying-pan toss the carrots in the butter over moderate heat until they are well coated. Add the stock, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste, and cook the mixture over a moderately high heat, tossing the carrots, until the liquid is reduced to a glaze. Stir in the parsley and the dill. Serve hot.
