- 4 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Boil the carrots in salted water until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir constantly for about 2 minutes to create a base for the sauce.
3. Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Continue until the mixture thickens and achieves a smooth consistency.
4. Stir in the grated Gruyere cheese, making sure it melts and the sauce becomes uniform.
5. Add the cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust the cayenne pepper according to your preference, keeping in mind it can be spicy.
6. Add the boiled carrots to the spicy white sauce, gently stirring to ensure they are well coated.
7. Let it simmer for a few minutes on low heat to allow the carrots to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
8. Serve the Spicy Carrots with the Cabin Woodcutter's name proudly, and garnish with fresh chives if desired.
This dish offers a unique blend of the sweetness of carrots, creaminess of the spicy white sauce, and a kick from the cayenne pepper. A delightful side dish for any menu!
