Maple Glazed Julienned Carrots With Steamed Asparagus

1. 1

   ["Using a julienne peeler, julienne the carrots. I hold the large part of the carrot, and pull the peeler down the length of the carrot. Just keep peeling/julienning the carrots until you can't hold the carrot any more. The carrots will be long and spaghetti like. You will have a chunk left, just grate that for other uses, or discard.", "Prepare the asparagus: Trim the ends of the asparagus and wash. Peel the bottoms if they are tough.", "Bring some salted water to a boil in an asparagus steamer, or 12"" saute pan with a lid.", "Cook the asparagus, covered, until tender crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Drain, and season with salt and pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the butter.", "Meanwhile, bring some salted water to a boil in a large saucepan.", "Add the carrots, and cook, covered, for 4-6 minutes, or until just tender crisp.", "Drain, and set aside. Melt the remaining butter in the saucepan, add the maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of white pepper. Add the carrots and toss.", "To serve: put a pile of the carrots on the plate, and lay 3 to 5 asparagus spears over the top."]
