This simple carrot side dish is fast and easy to make. There is something magical about the combination of carrots and dill. It is a great use for leftover champagne. Sweet white wine may be substituted for the champagne. If you want to avoid alcohol, try my Carrots Vichy.

- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and thinly sliced into coin shapes
