What the hell is parboiling? Parboiling means to partially cook. Parboiling the vegetables before sauteing reduces cooking time and limits the chance of overcooking.
Try your best to make sure your carrots are cut similarily in size. An important thing to remember about parboiling is to make sure you have a rolling boil and an ice bath ready to go.
This easy dish can be partially prepared a day or two before so you can make a fresh savory meal in a hurry. Try pairing this with wild rice or quinoa and there you have a one dish meal!
Sauteed carrots and green onions are also a perfect easy addition to any holiday meal. Try pairing it with fluffy mashed potatoes, millet muffins, shallot gravy, and more.
