Basic Method For Cooking Carrots

DIRECTIONS

  • Slice or cube the carrots, or leave them whole if they are small. Cook them, covered, in about 2 inches of boiling water until they are tender, about 10 - 12 minutes if they are sliced, longer if they are whole. Drain. Coat with the butter, season to taste, and reheat, if necessary, before serving.
  • CANDIED CARROTS
  • Melt 5 tablespoons butter in a heavy skillet, stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, and heat, stirring, until melted. Add the cooked, seasoned carrots and cook slowly until they are well glazed.
  • CARROTS AND PEAS
  • Add cooked green peas to diced cooked carrots, dot with butter, season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper, and reheat slowly.
  • MASHED OR PURéED CARROTS
  • Mash the cooked carrots, put them through a food mill, or purée them in a food processor. Season to taste with butter, salt, freshly ground pepper, and a whisper of nutmeg or chopped dill. Reheat slowly, preferably in the top of a double boiler.
  • PARSLIED CARROTS
  • Add 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley to the carrots when coating with the butter.
