About the Recipe
Simple ingredients make fresh carrots shine in this easy side dish. Garlic, butter and fresh herbs add plenty of flavour without overpowering the natural sweetness of the carrots.
Ingredients
800g carrots, peeled and sliced
40g butter
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh parsley to garnish
Peel the carrots and cut into evenly sized slices or batons.
Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil.
Add the carrots and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until tender but still holding their shape.
Drain well and return the carrots to the pan.
Melt the butter in a small pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook gently for 1 minute.
Stir in the parsley and thyme, then pour the herb butter over the carrots.
Toss until evenly coated, season with salt and black pepper and serve warm.
