Oma's Best Carrot Recipe (pan roasted)

➤ by Oma Gerhild Fulson

My best carrot recipe, aka Mohrrüben, is one of the quick easy vegetarian recipes that are part of a traditional German meal, vegetarian or not. 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. The carrot goes by various names in Germany: "Mohrrübe, Möhre, Karotte." Pan roasting is one of the ways I love making these.
