Christmas Carrots with Herb Butter
The idea behind these Christmas carrots is to make one part of preparing Christmas dinner quicker and easier.
Ingredients
- 80 g butter softened
- 1 tbsp tarragon finely chopped
- 1½ tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
- ½ tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 kg baby carrots
Instructions
- Mash the butter in a bowl with the tarragon, parsley and mustard, as well as some seasoning. Cover and chill until needed. Can be made up to three days ahead.
- Trim the long green tops off the carrots and wash under cold running water, scrubbing them with a clean scourer to get rid of any dirt. Halve the carrots lengthways so they're all the same size, and put in a large, microwave-proof bowl with 3 tbsp water. Cover the carrots with a microwaveable plate or lid and heat on full power for 8-10 mins until just tender. Drain, then toss with the herby butter and serve straightaway.
Notes
If you don’t have a microwave, steam the carrots for 10-12 mins until tender, then toss with the butter in a warm serving bowl.
