My mom cooked this when I was growing up.
The carrots give it a sweet flavor.
It makes a good veggie meal.
I start with raw veggies – potatoes[leaving skins on], carrots, onions [dehydrated will do]
seasonings, olive oil and a little water.
Pan fry covered medium heat stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes. Serve over a slice of bread.
