Method

  1. Put the carrots in large, wide, shallow pan with a lid with the butter, bay, thyme, coriander seeds and sugar. Add enough vegetable stock to come halfway up the carrots. Bring to a simmer, put on a lid and cook until the carrots are almost tender, about 10-12 minutes. Take off the lid, then simmer hard, turning the veg until the liquid has evaporated and the carrots are glazed.

    sounds good but doesn't say how long you can do them in advance, up to what stage and how you reheat them.

    replying to the ? of how far ahead. I have made vichy carrots before and this is the same but with some added herbs, I found that you can prepare ahead and just use the "dreaded microwave" to re-heat must say I have never tried to freeze.

    Very easy to make, which is always good on Christmas day and was really delicious - I don't even normally like cooked carrots.
