A great way to cook carrots that isn't blah

Ok, so your preparing a relatively basic dinner...you have your main entree, the potatoes or rice but what about a vegetable.  You realize that your out of frozen vegetables and your fresh selection is down to zero because it's still winter.  Ahhh...but you have a whole bag of carrots sitting in your vegetable bin in the refrigerator.  I love making this dish because it really is simple, you don't need that many ingredients for this recipe and it is very good.  For those that don't especially love carrots...this dish may change your views on them.  Most of us have brown sugar and lemon juice and fresh or dried ginger in the kitchen. 
Give this a try when your next "I don't know which vegetable to fix" moment comes along.

Lemon Ginger Carrots

6 large carrots- sliced into 1/8 inch thick rounds

1 tsp fresh ginger finely grated or 1 tsp dried ginger

1 tbsp brown sugar

1/4 cup lemon juice

Place your carrots into a steamer basket and steam covered on medium heat for 20 minutes

Remove from steamer and place into a sauce pan

Add in the ginger, the brown sugar and lemon juice

Heat over medium low heat for 10 minutes

Taste and add salt to taste

This recipe is very flexible...add more brown sugar or more ginger depending on which you like more

eh....what's up doc?
