Glazed Carrots (Carottes Vichy) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb baby carrots, peeled
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon of fresh mint, chopped (or chopped parsley)

Preparation

In a medium, shallow saucepan, add carrots, sugar, butter, salt and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 8 to 12 minutes, or until carrots are almost tender.
Turn up heat to boil rapidly until all the liquid has evaporated to form a shiny glaze. Toward the end of cooking time, watch carefully so sugar does not caramelize. Taste for seasoning.
Just before serving, add chopped mint or parsley; toss. Spoon into a serving dish.
