Preparation

Step 1
In a heavy saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add carrots, nutmeg and cinnamon, season with pepper and toss, coating carrots with butter. Continue cooking for a couple of minutes, then add water. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes. Carrot slices should be tender and the water evaporated.
Step 2
Whisk in remaining butter and lemon juice. Fold in the parsley leaves and serve.
