About

Adding a pinch of sugar and a dash of lemon to the cooking water of carrots is a well-known enhancer. This recipe goes several steps further, replacing sugar with honey and scenting the carrots with a waft of ginger. It’s good enough to eat on its own, but goes well with grilled chicken too.
