3 carrots, diced small
2 cups frozen peas
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/2 tsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp salt

How to cook it

Melt the butter in a saucepan and cook the carrots over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the vegetable broth and sugar, cover, and simmer for 6 minutes, until the carrots are almost tender.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook uncovered for 3 minutes more, until the peas are heated through and the carrots are fully tender.
Season with the salt and pepper.
Scatter the parsley over the top and serve warm; this simple, mildly sweet vegetable is the default kid-friendly side in German homes.
