GLAZED CARROTS WITH CARAWAY SEEDS

Steps:

• Cut the carrots on the bias into 1/4 inch coins.
• In a large, dry frying pan, toast the caraway seeds for a few minutes.
• Melt the butter in the same pan over medium heat. Add carrots, sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
• Stir together and cook for 1 - 2 minutes. Add enough water to barely cover the carrots, raise the heat to high, cover and cook until the water boils and the carrots turn bright orange, ca. 5 minutes. Do not add too much water, the carrots will become mushy if cooked too long.
