Vichy (Glazed) Carrots
Vichy carrots are a French classic and this way of cooking carrots is simple, quick and absolutely delicious! The carrots are cooked with sugar, water, lemon juice and butter until they are just tender and the melted sugar forms a buttery glaze. Just take a little care to avoid overcooking them or burning the sugar mixture!
A wide shallow lidded pan (like lidded frying pan) works best as the carrots can better cook in their glaze.
