Steamed Basil Carrots
/I ran across this recipe years ago and am still amazed at how simple, and delicious, it is.
Scrub fresh carrots. Don't bother to peel them if you've washed them well.
Quarter carrots into equal-sized strips; steam in steamer until done, about 8 minutes.
Add cut up fresh basil or, when you can't find where you put it, dried basil leaves.
The original recipe called for a drizzle of melted butter but I stopped doing that one night when I was short. If you want a little more flavor, dry a butter flavor substitute. Toss until fully covered. I prefer to eat it warm but
it's also good cold as next day left-overs.
