How to Make Carottes Nouvelles A La Francaise French Carrots
- Prepare the green onions: Thinly slice the white and light green parts of 2 large green onions, reserving the dark green tops for another use or discarding.
- Prepare the lettuce: Refresh the lettuce, remove all edible outer leaves and cut the heart into quarters.
- Butter the pan: In a heavy-bottomed pan, melt 1 ounce (28 grams) of butter over medium heat. Add the quartered lettuce heart and sliced green onions. Season with salt.
- Arrange the carrots: Place the peeled baby carrots in a single layer on top of the lettuce and onions.
- Season and cook: Sprinkle with sugar, dot with the remaining 1 ounce (28 grams) of butter, and add 3 tablespoons of cold water.
- Simmer: Cover the pan tightly and cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes, or until the carrots begin to soften and steam is visible.
- Gentle cooking: Reduce the heat to very low, maintaining a gentle simmer. Shake the pan occasionally but do not lift the lid for 20 minutes. The carrots should be tender but still slightly crisp.
- Finish cooking: If necessary, replace the lid and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until perfectly tender.
- Serve: Pour the contents of the pan into a heated serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley and chives. Serve immediately.
