Pea Pod Carrot Medley
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
YIELD: 2 servings.
We grow pea pods, and I wanted to use them in something other than stir-fries. This fit the bill! I've carried it to church potlucks and received compliments on its pretty orange glaze and fresh taste. —Josie Smith, Winamac, Indiana
