the slightly different side dish

Preheat oven to 170°C. Add the carrot slices to a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 7-9 minutes. Drain and transfer the carrots to a casserole dish, reserving about 60 ml of the cooking liquid. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, grated onion, and horseradish with the reserved cooking liquid. Spread the mixture evenly over the carrots, sprinkle with the cheese, and cover with the breadcrumbs. Finally, return the casserole to the oven for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown. For the “buttered breadcrumbs,” simply melt some butter and mix it with the breadcrumbs. The carrots are a great side dish to meat dishes, especially with minced meat, but they are also delicious on their own as a main course.
