Ingredients:

• 3 lbs carrots, peeled
• 2 tablespoons butter

• 4 teaspoons dijon-style mustard

3. In a medium skillet, melt butter with honey or brown sugar, then stir in mustard and carrots and season with salt and plenty of pepper.
4. Cook over medium heat several minutes until well coated and bubbling.
5. Toss with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve.
