What is the best way to cook fresh carrots and how long do I need to boil them?
I am making meatloaf for dinner and all I have is carrots to go with them. How should I cook them. I cut them into pieces that are about 1 1/2 inch long and a little thicker then a pencil. basically into 4's. Now I don't know what to do with them. How long should I boil them and do I put them in while the water is still cold or put them in after it starts boiling. Any help would be much appreciated.
Answers:
Boil them for about 5 minutes. I'd put them in the boiling water.
For even yummier, drain them. In a saucepan, combine a Tblsp of butter, a Tblsp of brown sugar, and a dash of salt, til butter melts. Add carrots & cook about 2 minutes, over medium heat. Season to taste with pepper.
Good luck!
