Julia Child's Creamy Carrots
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 lbs carrots, peeled and quartered or sliced (about 5 1/2 cups)
  • 3 1/2 TBSP butter
  • 2 TBSP minced parsley, chive, and chervil or parsley only
  • 1 TBSP granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • pinch of pepper
Instructions
1
Boil water with carrots, sugar, 1 1/2 TBSP butter and salt. Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for 30-40 minutes, until the carrots are soft and the water has almost evaporated. Check to see if there is enough salt and pepper.
2
Boil the cream. Pour it over the carrots so that they are completely covered with cream and cook without a lid over low heat for 15-20 minutes until the cream is almost completely absorbed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
Just before serving, remove from heat, add the remaining 2 TBSP butter and herbs, and shake slightly to mix the carrots with the additions. Place on a hot platter.
