QUICK CARROTS WITH GARLIC & BASIL
A quick different way with carrots. You can use other herbs if you like in place of the basil. I have used both fresh garlic and crushed from a jar with little difference.

LEMON-BASIL CARROTS
THIS IS one of my favorite ways to prepare carrots-simple but flavorful. I devised this recipe since we always seem to have carrots on hand, and the dish has drawn quite a few compliments. Sometimes I'll make extra and add them to my "soup jar" in the freezer-they make a great addition to a batch of homemade soup! -Donna Smith Palisade, Colorado

AUBERGE CREAMED CARROTS WITH BASIL AND GARLIC
One of the most requested vegetable accompaniments that I serve in the Auberge; simple & easy to adapt to personal tastes - they are finished off in a flash before serving. If you are not fond of garlic, don't add it......the same with basil, it's just that I find the two work very well together with the sweetnes of the carrots!
