Ingredients

  • 6 pieces carrots
  • 2 pieces egg yolks
  • 1 piece onion

  • 100 g smoked bacon lardons
  • to taste pepper

  2. Dice the onion.
  3. Melt a knob of butter in a sauté pan and sauté the two vegetables for a few minutes over high heat.
  4. Add water, lower the heat, cover, and cook for about ten minutes (check that it doesn't stick and add more water if necessary).
