3 tablespoons sherry wine |

1/4 teaspoon ground coriander |
1/2 teaspoon dried sweet basil leaves or 1 teaspoon fresh sweet basil, minced |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/3 cup toasted sliced almonds |
Directions:
1. Steam carrots until crisp-tender or to preferred doneness (between 10 to 20 minutes); transfer to a serving dish and keep warm.
2. In a skillet, sauté the green onions in butter until tender.
3. In a bowl, combine the cornstarch, water, and sherry and whisk until smooth, then stir into onions.
4. Add the bouillon granules, coriander, basil, pepper, and almonds.
5. Bring sauce to a boil over medium heat, stirring, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until thickened and bubbly.
