Letʼs prepare the ingredients for the dish. There are many different recipes and methods for preparing carrots in sour cream. You can use sour cream of any fat content depending on your taste. Carrots need to be fresh and juicy. We will stew carrots in sour cream as an addition to the meat dish as a side dish. Any type of carrot is suitable for this. If such a dish will be prepared as a dessert, especially for children, then it is better to use sweet varieties of carrots.

Turn off the fire.
