Carrots au Beurre

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups baby carrots

• 3 tablespoons melted butter

• 1/2 cup whipping cream

1. Cook the carrots in salted water until tender enough for a fork to easily break them.

2. Puree the carrots, then set them in a strainer to allow any extra water to drain out.

3. Add the melted butter and the cream, along with a slight sprinkle of nutmeg. Pour the mixture into a serving bowl.

4. Lightly cook some string beans, then arrange them around the bowl with the carrot mixture.
