Ingredients

40g butter softened

1 tbsp runny honey (heather honey works well)

1 tsp crushed fennel seeds

600g baby carrots (Chantenay), large ones halved

1/2 bunch of parsley finely chopped

Instructions

Step 1
Mash the butter in a bowl with the honey and fennel seeds. Cover and chill until needed. Can be prepared up to three days ahead.
Step 2
Trim the tops off the carrots and wash under cold running water, scrubbing them with a clean scourer to get rid of any dirt. Put the carrots in a large, microwave-proof bowl with 2 tsp water. Cover the carrots with a microwaveable plate or lid and heat on full power for 5-6 mins until just tender. Drain, then toss with the honey and fennel butter and parsley. Taste for seasoning and serve.
