Last Minute Carrots

A very quick way of cooking carrots for when time is short! I have been using this recipe for 30years LOL. Edited to add: I now have a julienne peeler (like a potato peeler only it cuts nice slim sticks) and this recipe is ideal for cooking carrots shredded with it. :)

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  carrots (peeled and coarsley grated or use a julienne peeler)
• 1  tablespoon butter
• 2 -3  tablespoons water
•  salt and pepper
•  finely chopped parsley, to serve (optional)

Directions

1. In medium size saucepan melt butter with water and add salt and pepper.
2. Add the carrots, cover tightly and cook over high heat until steam forms, then slowly (lower heat) for 4-5minutes or until carrots are tender.
3. (young carrots will not need this long).
4. If desired add some finely chopped parsley before serving.
5. (There should be no liquid remaining in saucepan at the end of cooking Enjoy:).
