Stage 6 - 40 min.

Remarks
Mixing carrots of different colours makes the dish prettier, but does not affect the flavour, so is not essential.

You can use a poultry stock instead of the vegetable stock, which will give the carrots a more marked flavour.
Keeping
1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

Home made.
