QUICK-BRAISED CARROTS WITH BUTTER
I never really enjoyed eating cooked carrots until I found this recipe. It comes from a cookbook by Mark Bittman. I prefer making this with the butter and maple syrup. It makes a great combination.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, young carrots: Look for carrots that are bright orange in color and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid carrots that are limp or have cracks or bruises.
- Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
- Use unsalted butter: This will prevent the carrots from becoming too salty. If you only have salted butter, be sure to adjust the amount of salt you add to the recipe.
- Cook the carrots over medium heat: This will help them cook through without burning.
- Add the chives at the end of cooking: This will help them retain their flavor and color.
Conclusion:
Chive buttered carrots are a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give chive buttered carrots a try!
