A quick different way with carrots. You can use other herbs if you like in place of the basil. I have used both fresh garlic and crushed from a jar with little difference. Ingredients:
500 g carrots (sliced diagonally) |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
2 large garlic cloves (sliced thinly or 1 teasp crushed garlic from a jar) |
2 tablespoons fresh basil (thinly sliced or chopped) |
Directions:
1. Cook carrots in boiling water for for 2 -3 mins until tender but crisp or microwave if desired.
2. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of liquid.
3. Combine the garlic and oil in a nonstick pan and cook over a moderate heat until fragrant (you can smell the garlic).
4. Add the carrots and stirring, cook until well combined and hot, adding a little of the reserved cooking liquid if necessary.
5. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil.
6. Serve hot.
