Carrots with Lime Butter

TOTAL TIME: 25 MIN
SERVES: 4

Ingrediants

    * 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    * 1 1/2 pounds carrots (6 medium), sliced 1/2 inch thick on the diagonal
    * 2 scallions, thinly sliced
    * 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    * 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
    * salt and freshly ground pepper
    * 2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Directions

Melt the butter in a large skillet and add the carrots and scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, over moderate heat until the scallions are softened, about 3 minutes.
