BUTTERY COOKED CARROTS

Steps:

• Cook carrots in a large pot of boiling water until tender. Drain off most of the liquid, leaving bottom of pan covered with water. Set the carrots aside.
• Stir margarine and brown sugar into the water. Simmer and stir until the margarine melts. Return carrots to the pot, and toss to coat. Cover, and let sit for a few minutes to allow flavors to mingle.

• Uncover saucepan and raise the heat a little.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated and carrots are cooking in butter or oil.
• Lower the heat and keep cooking, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender (not mushy), a couple of minutes longer.

GARLICKY, BUTTERED CARROTS

Steps:

• Melt chicken fat in a large skillet over medium-high heat. (If using butter, melt until lightly foamy and starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes.) Add olive oil and red-pepper flakes, if using, swirling to bloom a bit in the butter. Add carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until carrots are just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. (They should be simply softened, like al dente pasta, not soft or mushy.)
• Remove pan from heat, and add garlic, tossing to coat, and transfer to serving bowl.

BUTTERED CARROTS

Steps:

• Trim and peel the carrots, and then cut them in half. Cut each half into long, thin matchsticks.
• Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Sprinkle in the sugar, and cook to melt. Add the carrots, and toss until they are coated. Cover carrot mixture, keeping lid slightly askew, and cook until the carrots are just tender, about 3 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat with melted butter and sugar. Serve immediately.
