Best Carrot Recipe

"Mohrrübengemüse"

This best carrot recipe is one of the quick easy vegetarian recipes that are part of a traditional German meal.


The carrot goes by various names in Germany: "Mohrrübe, Möhre, Karotte". There are carrot recipes for soups, stews, and casseroles. This easy and quick carrot dish adds wonderful flavor and color to the plate.

The traditional German vegetable recipes had most of the vegetables cooked and cooked until almost mush! The newer, more modern German kitchen recognizes that a vegetable that still has a bit of crunch and has been cooked in the least amount of water possible, is much more nutritious and tasty.

Full of vitamins, it's important not to cook carrot recipes too long or in lots of water. They're best steamed in their own juices.

My best carrot recipe below uses a method that can be used with so many vegetables - the only alteration would be the cooking time and that some may need a bit of extra water added.

Mohrrübengemüse

Ingredients:
  • 2 lb. carrots
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • salt, sugar, pepper
  • 2 tsp. butter
  • fresh parsley

Instructions:

  • Peel or scrap carrots. Rinse. Cut into slices.
  • In pot, heat olive oil.
  • Add carrot slices and lightly sauté, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes.
  • Add water, season with salt and sugar.
  • Cover and simmer until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add butter.
  • Serve with freshly ground pepper and parsley over top.
  • Serves 4.

Hints:

  • Add 4 tbsp. raisins and 4 tbsp. sour cream if desired. This variation is often served with fried liver.
