Ingredients: 500 g carrots (sliced diagonally); 2 teaspoons olive oil; 2 large garlic cloves (sliced thinly or 1 teasp crushed garlic from a jar); 2 tablespoons fresh basil (thinly sliced or chopped)

A quick different way with carrots.  You can use other herbs if you like in place of the basil.  I have used both fresh garlic and crushed from a jar with little difference.

Quick Carrots With Garlic &amp; Basil

carrots (sliced diagonally)

olive oil

garlic garlic

basil

Cook carrots in boiling  water for for 2 -3 mins until tender but crisp or microwave if desired.

Combine the garlic and oil in a nonstick pan and cook over a moderate heat until fragrant (you can smell the garlic).

Add the carrots and stirring, cook until well combined and hot, adding a little of the reserved cooking liquid if necessary.

Remove from the heat and stir in the basil.

The DM, DS and I thoroughly enjoyed the carrots done this way, I used the first of our garlic from the garden and sweet basil from the herb garden and it really freshened up the carrots which I cooked in the steamer and cooked as directed.
