Braised Carrots - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs carrots, peeled
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 - 3/4 cup hot water
2 tablespoons parsley or 2 tablespoons chervil, chopped

Preparation

Cut carrots into 1/8 in rounds or 1/4 in dice.
In a wide, low pot melt butter over medium heat, add carrots and cook about 3 minutes, stirring frequently until carrots have a \"glazed\" look.
Add, sugar and cook another minute.
Add salt and 1/4 cup hot water, cover, reduce heat to medium low and let cook until carrots are done, checking and stirring occasionally. Add a little more water if necessary to prevent sticking. Dish should be almost dry when done.
I usually cook for 10 minutes but cooking time can vary considerably due to age and sort of carrots as well as your your personal preference.
When done serve sprinkled with a little parsley or chervil (which is nice with fish).
