Saute them long enough to soften the onion and serve. They&#39;re awesome, and it goes great with garlic mashed potatoes!<br /><br />Also, I don&#39;t make carrots a lot because my husband doesn&#39;t care for them. But I&#39;ve always loved them, so I found a way to make them that he likes. I steam them until soft, drain them, then add a tiny pat of butter, a dash of salt, and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Cook them about 2-3 minutes (caramelize the sugar), and serve.Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01509695633721432881noreply@blogger.com
