Herb-buttered baby carrots
- Preparation and cooking time

- Cook:
- Easy
- Serves 8
Ingredients
- 80g butter , softened
- 1 tbsp finely chopped tarragon
- 1½ tbsp finely chopped parsley
- ½ tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1kg baby carrots
Method
- STEP 1
Mash the butter in a bowl with the tarragon, parsley and mustard, as well as some seasoning. Cover and chill until needed. Can be made up to three days ahead.
- STEP 2
Trim the long green tops off the carrots and wash under cold running water, scrubbing them with a clean scourer to get rid of any dirt. Halve the carrots lengthways so they're all the same size, and put in a large, microwave-proof bowl with 3 tbsp water. Cover the carrots with a microwaveable plate or lid and heat on full power for 8-10 mins until just tender. Drain, then toss with the herby butter and serve straightaway.
