Steps:
- Put carrots, water, and salt and pepper to taste in an 8-inch skillet, then cover with a round of buttered parchment paper (buttered side down; parchment should be touching carrots) and simmer until carrots are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Remove parchment. Add snap peas and increase heat to high, then cook until peas are crisp-tender and liquid is reduced to about 1 teaspoon, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add orange juice, sugar, and butter, swirling skillet to coat carrots and peas, and cook until liquid is reduced to a syrupy glaze, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- For the freshest flavor, use young peas and carrots. If using frozen peas and carrots, thaw them before cooking.
- If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use bottled lemon juice. However, fresh lemon juice will give the dish a brighter flavor.
- If you don't have white wine, you can use chicken broth or water. However, white wine will add a nice depth of flavor to the dish.
- If you like a little spice, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the dish.
- Serve the peas and carrots immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and tender.
Conclusion:
Lemon butter peas with shredded carrots is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and refreshing, with a bright lemon flavor and a hint of sweetness from the carrots. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for your family.
