Carrot and Pea Side Dish

Ingredients

24 baby carrots with tops

1/2 cup chicken broth

3/4 cup water

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons Earth Balance butter

2 1/2 teaspoons stevia

1/2 teaspoons sea salt

2 cups fresh or frozen and thawed peas

Chopped chives or chervil, for garnish

Instructions

1. Cut carrot tops to 1 inch and peel or scrub carrots. Set aside.

2. Place chicken broth in a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until boiling, about 6 minutes.

3. Add carrots, water, vinegar, butter, stevia and sea salt. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer until carrots are almost tender, about 8 minutes.

4. Uncover, increase heat to medium high and simmer, tossing carrots often, until sauce is thickened, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add peas, toss gently to heat through, garnish with herbs and serve.
