Umm sorry to mess too but I used fresh garlic instead of garlic chives like another reviewer. I did however do it correctly on the stove top! I used sweet (unsalted) butter, canola oil (yes I wish there was an alternative), about 1 tbs organic apple cider vinegar and water in place of the liquid, blanched slivered almonds I toasted in a dry pan, sea salt, plus the rest of the ingredients. Served along side recipe#163140 and recipe#116485. Made for APRIL/MAY 2012 NA/ME TAG! -
I admit to seriously messing with this lovely dish, mainly due to running late and being very lazy! I microwaved the carrots for a couple of minutes, then sauteed with some garlic, salt, pepper, the almonds and some white wine til the liquid was gone - very nice! I promise I'll try it the right way sometime with the proper ingredients!
