The quantities follow this count.

1.5 lb carrots, sliced
3 tbsp butter
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp salt

How to cook it

Put the carrots, butter, sugar, water, and salt in a wide skillet over medium heat.
Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, until the carrots are almost tender.
Uncover and continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes more, shaking the pan occasionally, until the liquid reduces to a shiny glaze that coats the carrots.
Scatter the parsley over the top and serve warm; carrots alone and glazed rather than braised with peas and lettuce, the named preparation every French child is fed.
