Answer 2

If you are using fresh carrots and not frozen, I had this recipe in a restaurant years ago and still make it once in a while. You coin the carrots, slice them in rounds. In olive oil, fry them till golden brown, at that point (about 30 minutes over med hi heat) add about 3 TBLs of Honey, and about 1/3 to a 1/2 cup of orange juice. Depends on how much carrots u r using and how many u r feeding. Now I am a creative cook and about 20 minutes into the cooking of the carrots I would toss in the corn. (Hopefully it is off the cob). Fried corn is great, so I wouldn't be worried about the mixing of the flavors. Should be delicious.

I use this one at Thanksgiving. Cook carrots until they are done to your liking. Add kernel corn. leave about one inch of water in pot. Add in two tspns of white or brown sugar and 1/4 tspn of nutmeg for every 1 1/2 cups of vegetables. On high heat gently mix carrots , corn , sugar and nutmeg using "foldover" style of stirring. Do this continuously for about two minutes once water is boiling. Serve hot. Enjoy.

add broccoli flowers, and chop or slice red bell pepper and small about of chop or sliced onion. Steam all together with your carrots/corn, add light butter sauce. Birdseye makes this frozen...yours will be better; it's homemade by you!
