Recipe Name: Carrots New England with a twist!
Submitted by: Nick Lula

Boil one pound of frozen whole baby carrots in one quart of seltzer water. Cook them until they are al dente. Strain them and set aside.

Quickly add the cooked carrots and cook the mixture with the baby carrots until the mixture comes to a boil once again. Then serve.

Cooking the carrots in the seltzer water gives them an unusual crispiness and both the flavor and orange color are enhanced. This is a very delicious method for preparing carrots. You can even substitute turnips or parsnips in place of the carrots.
