Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Carrots
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Fresh tarragon leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.33 cup Water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a medium-sized skillet with a lid, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them in the butter.
Pour in the 1/3 cup of water, and then cover the skillet with the lid. Allow the carrots to steam for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are just tender but not mushy.
Add the frozen peas to the skillet and stir well to combine with the carrots. Allow the mixture to cook for 2-3 more minutes, until the peas are heated through.
Sprinkle the tarragon leaves, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Stir everything together gently to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the tarragon carrots and peas to a serving bowl.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish to complement your meal.
