- Parsley: 1 1/2 tbsp finely chopped parsley

- Mash the butter in a bowl with the tarragon, parsley and mustard, as well as some seasoning. Cover and chill until needed.Can be made up to three days ahead.
- Trimthe long green tops off the carrots and wash under cold running water, scrubbing them with a clean scourer to get rid of any dirt. Halve the carrots lengthways so they're all the same size, and put in a large, microwave-proof bowl with 3 tbsp water. Cover the carrots with a microwaveable plate or lid andheat on full powerfor 8-10 mins until just tender. Drain, then toss with the herby butter and serve straightaway.
