Carrots with Mint and Lemon recipe
information
Tender young carrots, in the shops during spring and early summer, have a lovely sweet flavour which is brought out to the full by the sugar and lemon juice in this recipe. Unwashed carrots, which sometimes still have their feathery foliage, keep better than those sold washed and prepacked.
