COPPER CARROTS

WHEN I prepare this delicious carrot recipe, I'm reminded of a fabulous church supper our family attended back in 1942. I had never seen so much delicious food before - truly Southern cooking in full flower. These carrots were one of the side dishes served. -Billie Scoggins, Long Beach, Mississippi

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for small, young carrots with a deep orange color. These will be the sweetest and most tender.
  • Peel the carrots thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will also help them cook evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the carrots from burning.
  • Add enough water to cover the carrots: This will help them to cook through without drying out.
  • Season the carrots simply: Salt, pepper, and a bit of butter or olive oil are all you need to bring out their natural flavor.
  • Cook the carrots until they are tender: This will take about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of the carrots.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Copper carrots are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are easy to make and can be paired with a variety of main courses. Whether you are roasting them, boiling them, or sautéing them, copper carrots are sure to please everyone at the table.
