Recipe Notes

Braised Carrots, Jewish Style. Adapted from Cucina Ebraica by Joyce Goldstein. Serves 4.

Warm the oil (or fat) in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the carrots and saute until well coated with fat, 5-8 minutes. Add the water and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to very low and simmer until the carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.
