Exciting Carrots?

I know, I know, how can you make a vegetable exciting. Usually the vegetable is the after thought to the main dish. It is there, but generally forgotten.

This recipe gives you a side dish that gets noticed.

I steamed my diced carrots for about 7 minutes. This made them a little soft, but not mushy. I hate mushy overcooked vegetables.

The sauce is where the pizzaz is. The pimiento adds a little color and texture.

But the main thing that makes these carrots interesting is the chili sauce.

It gives the dish a little spiciness, but not too much.

We all really loved these carrots. It seems crazy, but I kind of wanted more when they were gone.
