Notes
I use baby carrots in this recipe. No need to peel them and they are already small in size so all you have to do is slice them thin!For the garlic you can fresh garlic that you mince or press. Use chopped garlic from a jar. Or use garlic paste from the tube. Either one will work fine. This recipe has been tested wit full salt beef broth which is what the recipe calls for. If you use reduced-sodium broth you will have to taste and add salt as necessary.
