Method

  1. Put the carrots, butter, sherry, sugar and lemon zest in a pan, then add enough water to half cover the carrots. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until the carrots are almost tender.
  2. Uncover and simmer for a further 20 minutes or until the liquid has reduced to a buttery glaze. Remove from the heat, stir in the parsley and season. Serve immediately.
