Vichy Carrots

Estimated Prep Time: 10 minutes
Estimated Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Now, to do this properly, you are supposed to buy a bottle of Vichy water and use that. Most people do the cheat using a pinch baking soda. Some purists sniff that they can tell the difference; for what it's worth, British food expert Jane Grigson dismisses their claims.

If you are in a hurry and have the heat higher than you should while simmering, watch them closely and stir frequently or you'll end up with scorched carrots that you just have to toss. It's better to make them a day ahead, taking your time, and then zap the next day in a microwave to serve.


Ingredients

1 pound Carrots (peeled, sliced thinly)
4 tablespoons Butter
3 tablespoons Water
1 teaspoon Sugar
Salt
Ground Pepper
pinch Baking Soda
Parsley (minced)





Directions



Put all ingredients except the parsley into a sauce pan, bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered until the carrots are tender and the water and liquid has been reduced to a thick glaze on the carrots.

Serve garnished with parsley.
