Directions
As promised, here are a couple of my favorite recipes from Reader's Digest "Great Recipes for Good Health". I've given you the nutritional counts as provided by the book and as computed by my software. For some reason, my software continues to be higher (I choose to believe the book).
In a 10" nonstick skillet, heat the corn oil over moderately high heat for 1 minute. Add the carrots and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in ¼ cup of water and steam, covered, over moderate heat, shaking the pan occasionally, for 3 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated.
Add the potato and the remaining water and steam, covered, for 3 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the vegetables are just tender. Season with pepper and sprinkle with chives.
