Katharsis 4 Butter Carrots

february 04, 2009 | I would make this recipe again

These were great and disappeared very quickly off plates! I guess my family preferred these to the normal steamed carrots! I splashed some fresh squeezed orange juice in after sautéing them to simmer with. Adds a little punch of flavour.
