Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4-3/4 cup hot water
  • 2 tbsp parsley or 2 tbsp chervil, chopped

Directions:

  1. Cut carrots into 1/8 in rounds or 1/4 in dice.
  2. In a wide, low pot melt butter over medium heat, add carrots and cook about 3 minutes, stirring frequently until carrots have a glazed look.
  3. Add, sugar and cook another minute.
  4. Add salt and 1/4 cup hot water, cover, reduce heat to medium low and let cook until carrots are done, checking and stirring occasionally. Add a little more water if necessary to prevent sticking. Dish should be almost dry when done.
  5. I usually cook for 10 minutes but cooking time can vary considerably due to age and sort of carrots as well as your your personal preference.
  6. When done serve sprinkled with a little parsley or chervil (which is nice with fish).
