Ginger Carrots a la Naomi!

My friend Naomi made her son's favourite side dish while they were visiting us.

It is called ginger carrots.

The dish is very easy to make and a winner with the kids!

Take three large carrots, peel and slice diagonally.
Heat up two or three tablespoons of butter and add the carrots.
Sauté the carrots for a few minutes then add some ground ginger, a table spoon of brown sugar and mix well.
Sauté for another 5 minutes at most, just until the carrots are tender but not soft.

Serve up as a side dish and enjoy!

Brussels Sprouts

Brussels Sprouts.

Not really my favourite vegetable... but my husband really likes them and whenever I open the fridge I tend to find a bag full of brussels sprouts which I don't recall buying.

Now, you can do a lot of things with brussels sprouts but I like stir frying them in some vegetable oil. Just clean them up a bit, heat up about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and add the brussels sprouts. Stir fry for about 10 minutes or until they get a slight brown colour on the outside and are still nice and green inside.

Season with salt and pepper and serve as a side dish.
