       Title: CARROTS WITH STAR ANISE
  Categories: Vegetables
       Yield: 4 servings
  
       3    Star Anise
   1 1/2 lb Carrots, Pref Organic
         pn Sugar
       1 oz Butter
         pn Salt
  
   I make this with organic carrots, their natural
   sweetness is unequalled by the other kind! Peel and
   trim the carrots and cut them across into slices about
   quarter of an inch thick. Put them in a solid pan,
   wide enough to hold them in two or three layers. Add
   the aniseed, which you can leave in the star shaped
   shell, the sugar, salt and butter and enough water
   just to cover everything. Cook them over a fierce
   heat, turning a couple of times, until the water boils
   away and the carrots just start to sizzle. At that
   moment the carrots will be done. It takes about 12
   minutes, depending on the thickness and size of the
   pan. The carrots absorb the exotic flavour of the star
   anise and the butter and sugar coats them with a glaze.
