Vichy Carrots ~ A well known French carrot dish.  A great accompaniment
regardless of the overall meal plan you are preparing.

1½ pounds carrots, trimmed and scraped
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp sugar
¼ cup water (or Vichy water if you want to be authentic)
4 tbsp butter
chopped parsley

1.  Cut the carrots into very thin rounds.  There should be about 4 cups.  Put
them in a skillet and add salt, pepper, sugar, water and butter.

2.  Cover with a round of buttered wax paper and cook over moderately high
heat, shaking the skillet occasionally.  Cook about 10 minutes, until carrots are
tender, the liquid has disappeared, and they are lightly glazed.  Take care they
do not burn.

Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.
