Number Of Ingredients 9

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 pound(s) fresh carrots
1/2 cup(s) water
2 tablespoon(s) sweet butter, unsalted
- salt, kosher variety, to taste
- black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
- caraway seeds, to taste
OPTIONAL ITEMS
- freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • PREP/PREPARE
  • Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • Wash and peel the carrots, and cut on the bias into 1/4 inch (.6cm).
  • Chef's Note: If you thoroughly wash the carrots, you do not need to peel them. That makes the carrots more rustic.
  • Place the carrots into a pan, and add about 1/2 cup water.
  • Bring the pan to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook for 6 - 7 minutes.
  • Remove the cover, and add the butter.
  • Continue to stir until the remainder of the water evaporates, about 1 - 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and season with some salt, pepper, and caraway seeds.
  • PLATE/PRESENT
  • Sprinkle on some chopped parsley (if using), and serve as a side with your favorite foods. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
