Ingredients

6 carrots, peeled and julienned

6 parsnips, peeled and julienned

1 small rutabaga, peeled and julienned

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces

1 fresh bay leaf

Coarse salt

1 to 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Preparation

Cut a round of parchment paper to cover a large, high-sided skillet; set aside. Place vegetables, butter, and bay leaf in the skillet. Add water until vegetables are almost covered, about 3 1/2 cups, and bring to a boil. Cover with parchment round, and cook until vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

Swirl skillet to coat vegetables with glaze. (If glaze is too thin, remove vegetables with a slotted spoon, raise heat, and cook until thickened. Return vegetables to skillet.) Season with salt, and serve garnished with chives.
