SIMPLE CARROTS AND CELERY SIDE DISH
This is a super simple and tasty side dish. I think celery is an underused vegetable and this is a nice way of using it. The vegetable stock can be a little bit salty so if you don't use a low sodium variety this is best served with a meal that doesn't otherwise have a lot of salt.

Steps:
- Put stock in medium sized pot and bring to a rapid boil.
- Add the carrots and the celery to the pot.
- Boil for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
- Scoop out the veggies and serve. Most of the liquid will be boiled away so you can simple discard that but if I am serving plain rice I will often spoon it over the top since it is tasty and there isn't much of it.

Steps:
- Stir together butter, parsley, chives, and tarragon in a small bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Butter can be refrigerated, covered, up to 2 days.
- Fill a medium pot fitted with a steamer insert with 2 to 3 inches water. Bring water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add potatoes to insert; sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt, and cover. Reduce heat to medium-low. Steam until potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes. Add carrots; cover, and steam until vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving platter. Spoon about 2 tablespoons tarragon butter over vegetables. Serve immediately with remaining butter on the side.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp carrots and celery: This will ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Cut the carrots and celery into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you do, the vegetables will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
- Season the vegetables well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
- Add a splash of acidity: This could be lemon juice, vinegar, or even white wine.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Tarragon, parsley, or chives are all good choices.
Conclusion:
This recipe for roasted carrots and celery with tarragon is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. The carrots and celery are roasted until tender and caramelized, and the tarragon adds a bright, herbaceous flavor. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
