I was just expecting a nice side dish but this actually came across as kind of a comfort food (meaning the flavor was something from my childhood). Used a mandoline to make quick work of carrots matchsticks. Thanks for the post.

A yummy variation that I will certainly make again. Enjoyed the celery in this. Next time I would add the water near end of cooking. Made for CQ 2014 as part of Italy trip. Arrivoderchi!

Nice recipe, however the prep time took a little longer than stated. Made for Everyday Holiday Tag game. :)
