Carrots - the word alone makes my nose wrinkle in disgust. Yes, they're healthy and I know they are full of healthy vitamins and antioxidants, but I just don't like them all that much. Crunchy and bland tasting, I only like them cooked with brown sugar which defeats the purpose of eating the healthy food in the first place. Since moving into the new apartment, I have been watching Food Network and find myself inspired. While I'm not trying anything particularly challenging yet, I have tried a few new things in the kitchen. So, what better food to try than something fat free and very healthy?
I made steamed carrots using my rice cooker which came with a steamer bowl attachment. It took a little longer than the instructions in the manual recommended, I cooked it for 18 minutes when only 10 was recommended. I added a little fat free I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and a pinch of salt, and it was delicious. I was more than a little shocked by how much I loved it, I actually ended up making more.
So, thank you Food Network. I'm not making Coq au Vin, I have found a new vegetable I'm actually excited to eat and it was SO easy. What is the world coming to?
