Maple syrup brings an extra sweet edge to the carrots making for an irresistible side-dish. Ingredients:
2 lbs carrots |
2 ounces butter |
1 tablespoon maple syrup |
1 1/2 tablespoons coarse grain mustard |
1 pinch salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Peel and cut the carrots into batons. (You can do this up to 24 hours ahead and keep them in a polythene bag in the fridge.)
2. Tip them into a pan, pour in enough boiling water just to cover, bring back to the boil, then put a lid on the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes until the carrots are just tender.
3. Meanwhile, put the butter and maple syrup in a small pan. Heat until the butter is melted then stir in the mustard.
4. Take off the heat. Drain the carrots and tip into a warmed serving dish.
5. Pour the warm maple glaze over the carrots.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning to suit.
