Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon bland oil
1 lb fresh carrot, peeled, thinly sliced into matchsticks (the best quality carrots you can find)
1/4 cup apple juice (or apple cider)
1 tablespoon fresh garlic chives
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1 dash salt
1 dash white pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet heat the pan on medium heat.
  • Add the butter and melt. Be careful not to burn the butter.
  • Next add the oil.
  • Saute the carrots, stirring frequently until they start to turn golden and are crisp-tender about 10-12 minutes.
  • Do not allow the skillet to turn dry- adding a little apple juice if necessary.
  • When the carrots are crisp-tender add the remaining apple juice and saute mixture until liquid is absorbed.
  • Finally, stir in the lemon juice, chives, toasted almonds, salt and white pepper.
