Carrots with bacon & marmalade butter

20 min6 servings

Take the humble carrot to new heights with an irresistible bacon and marmalade butter. This makes a great Christmas dinner side

Ingredients

3 rashers smoked streaky bacon

50g butter softened

1½ tbsp fine-shred marmalade

800g carrots halved down the centre and sliced on an angle

Instructions

1 Heat the grill to high and grill the bacon for 3-4 mins each side until crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

2 Chop the bacon as finely as you can and combine well with the butter and marmalade. Will keep chilled for up to three days.

3 Put the carrots in a pan and cover with boiling water. Boil for 5-6 mins until cooked but retaining some bite, then drain and tip into a bowl. Put slices of the butter on top, tossing until the butter has melted.
