1
Prepare the Carrots
Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler. Cut them into small, bite-sized pieces.
2
Prepare the Peas
If using fresh peas, shell them from their pods. Rinse under cold water and set aside.

3
Cook the Carrots
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the chopped carrots to the boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still slightly firm.
4
Add the Peas
Once the carrots are tender, add the fresh peas to the saucepan. Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes until the peas are bright green and tender.
5
Season the Vegetables
Drain the vegetables in a colander and return them to the saucepan. Add the butter, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and allow the butter to melt.
6
Serve
Transfer the peas and carrots to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side dish.
