6 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 bunches whole carrots, tops removed
  • 1/4 lb butter (1/2 cup butter although I used only 1/3 cup)

  • 1 tablespoon of fresh mint, chiffonade (*FRESH* mint only!)
  • salt and black pepper, to taste

    Lightly steam the carrots in a steamer basket. Drain.

    Wash out the pot, dry it with a towel then heat the pan on medium heat.
  3. 3
    Add the butter and sugar until butter is melted and sugar has dissolved.

    Arrange the carrots on a serving platter.
