Tips for Garlic Butter Carrots and Corn Medley

Aim for carrot pieces about the same size so they soften evenly alongside the corn.
The finished medley should look glossy, with tender carrots that still hold their shape; mushy pieces usually mean it cooked too long.
A small saucepan with a tight-fitting lid helps the vegetables soften evenly without losing too much moisture.

Drink pairing

A crisp, unoaked white wine such as Pinot Grigio
Its bright, light profile complements the sweet corn and carrots without overwhelming the garlic margarine.
