Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

40g butter, softened
1 tbsp runny honey (heather honey works well)
1 tsp crushed fennel seeds
600g baby carrots (Chantenay), large ones halved
½ bunch of parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Mash the butter in a bowl with the honey and fennel seeds. Cover and chill until needed. Can be prepared up to three days ahead.
  • Trim the tops off the carrots and wash under cold running water, scrubbing them with a clean scourer to get rid of any dirt. Put the carrots in a large, microwave-proof bowl with 2 tsp water. Cover the carrots with a microwaveable plate or lid and heat on full power for 5-6 mins until just tender. Drain, then toss with the honey and fennel butter and parsley. Taste for seasoning and serve.
