Ingredients
- 3 carrots
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh chervil
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 cups fiddleheads
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
Preparation
Cut carrots into strips 2 x 1/2 inch (5 x 1 cm).
In large heavy skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add carrots; sprinkle with chervil and sugar, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, tossing to glaze carrots, for 3 minutes. Add water, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, or until almost tender.
