Number Of Ingredients 4

3 rashers smoked streaky bacon
50g butter, softened
1½ tbsp fine-shred marmalade
800g carrots, halved down the centre and sliced on an angle

Steps:

  • Heat the grill to high and grill the bacon for 3-4 mins each side until crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Chop the bacon as finely as you can and combine well with the butter and marmalade. Will keep chilled for up to three days.
  • Put the carrots in a pan and cover with boiling water. Boil for 5-6 mins until cooked but retaining some bite, then drain and tip into a bowl. Put slices of the butter on top, tossing until the butter has melted.
