SAUTEED CARROTS

Steps:

• Peel the carrots and cut them diagonally in 1/4-inch slices. You should have about 6 cups of carrots. Place the carrots, 1/3 cup water, the salt, and pepper in a large (10- to 12-inch) saute pan and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat for 7 to 8 minutes, until the carrots are just cooked through. Add the butter and saute for another minute, until the water evaporates and the carrots are coated with butter. Off the heat, toss with the dill or parsley. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

BUTTERED CARROTS

PEGGI'S SOUTHERN FRIED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in 10 3/4" cast iron skillet in the order given. Do not mix up at this time.
• Start out on high heat for a minute or two, until cabbage starts to "give it up",then reduce heat to low & cover skillet.
• Give it about 5 minutes before you start to stir it in skillet. Then, for the next 10 min, about, stir occasionally so it won't burn. Leave lid on to cook. Don't over stir it or it will just mush & not brown.
• Cook until it is starting to get translucent & tender-crisp & brown somewhat, as in picture above.
• Serve with anything. We had it with hamburger steaks & sauted onions today.

GARLICKY, BUTTERED CARROTS

Steps:

• Melt chicken fat in a large skillet over medium-high heat. (If using butter, melt until lightly foamy and starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes.) Add olive oil and red-pepper flakes, if using, swirling to bloom a bit in the butter. Add carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until carrots are just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. (They should be simply softened, like al dente pasta, not soft or mushy.)
• Remove pan from heat, and add garlic, tossing to coat, and transfer to serving bowl.

PEGGI'S BUTTER FRIED CARROTS

Steps:

• DRAIN CARROTS WELL, IF USING CANNED CARROTS. IF USING FRESH, SLICE.
• MELT THE BUTTER IN SMALL CAST IRON SKILLET, IF YOU HAVE ONE.
• IF USING CANNED CARROTS: PLACE CARROTS IN SKILLET ON MEDIUM HEAT & ADD A SMIDGEN OF SUGAR, ABOUT 1/8 tsp. DON'T MEASURE, JUST GUESS. SALT & PEPPER.
• CONTINUE COOKING & STIRRING UNTIL BUTTER IS ALMOST GONE. THEY WILL START BROWNING. THIS IS GOOD. IF THEY AREN'T BROWN, COOK A LITTLE LONGER. DON'T OVER STIR AS THEY WILL MUSH.
• IF USING FRESH CARROTS, DO STEPS 1, 2, 3 ABOVE, EXCEPT PLACE LID ON SKILLET TO STEAM THE CARROTS FOR THE FIRST 10 MINUTES. COOKING TIME WILL TAKE LONGER FOR FRESH. CONTINUE WITH STEP 4. WAIT TO ADD YOUR SEASONINGS TO CARROTS UNTIL THEY SOFTEN UP SOME, OR IT WILL JUST FALL OFF CARROTS & NOT ADHERE TO THEM.
