2 Tablespoon unsalted butter
2 Pound small to mediumâˆ'size carrots, sliced
juice of 1/2 lemon

Soak the mushrooms in warm water for 30 minutes. Remove, squeeze dry and
chop. Strain the water through a fine sieve and set aside. In a saucepan
heat the butter. Add the carrots and, stirring, cook over moderate heat for
about 10 minutes. Season with lemon juice, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Add the
