Braised Carrots

Ingredients

• 2 lbs carrots, peeled
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4-3/4 cup hot water
• 2 tablespoons parsley or chervil, chopped

Directions

1. 1

   Cut carrots into 1/8 in rounds or 1/4 in dice.

2. 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. 3

   Add, sugar and cook another minute.

4. 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. 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. 6

   When done serve sprinkled with a little parsley or chervil (which is nice with fish).
