8 oz Carrots
4 Shallots
1 Clove garlic
1/2 Green or red chilli OR
1 pn Chilli powder
4 tb Good stock or
1 ts Dark soya sauce and
4 tb Water
2 tb Vegetable oil or clarified
-butter
These are carrots, cut into matchsticks and cooked in a little oil or
butter. The word wortel doesn't sound Indonesian and isn't. It is
borrowed from the Dutch name for the carrot, since it was the Dutch
who introduced this vegetable to Indonesia.
Peel, wash, and cut the carrots into small sticks. Slice the shallots
and chilli. Crush the garlic. In a wok, heat 2 table- spoonfuls of
vegetable oil or clarified butter. Saute the slice shallots and
chilli for 1 minute, then add the garlic and the carrots. Stir
continuously for a minute or so and then put in the stock, or soya
sauce and water. Cover and continue to cook for 4 minutes. Uncover,
taste, and add salt if necessary. Cook for a further 2 minutes,
stirring all the time. Serve hot.

This one looks kind of nice. Hmmm. I haven't tried hubby on carrots
recently (he's been eating a lot of previously verboten food items
lately. . .) but I might give these a shot.
