French Vichy carrots are the famous carrots cooked in sparkling water. the vichy carrots or carottes vichy in French are a specialty from the town of vichy in central france. they are basically fresh carrots cooked in a mineral sparkling water. The water that should be used is a French mineral water called vichy celestin which can be bought in bottle in French supermarkets. This vichy carrot recipe bring a welcome addition and healthy alternative on how to cook carrots. really worth the try. Ingredients: 500grams /1 pound of carrots 2 tablespoons of plain better half a teaspoon of sugar one or two pinch of salt 350 ml /3/4 cups of sparkling mineral water. Instructions: As you have seen in the video the amount from the recipe I used where not exactly precise thsi is why is pas to be careful sometime. After trying this out I can say that for best result I would use only 1.5 cup of of sparkling water and leave to cook without a lid for 20 to 30 minutes dependig how thick you carrots slices are. If like me when the carrot are cooked you still have to much water just discard the excess and leave to glaze for 5 minutes on low to medium heat. as soon as teh carrot start to have a shine its ready to serve
