Mohrengemuse is a traditional German side dish made from fresh carrots, butter, cream, and broth. This dish is often served alongside meat dishes, such as pork or beef, and is a staple on many German menus. The creamy texture and savory flavor of the dish make it an excellent accompaniment to a wide range of main dishes, and the addition of fresh parsley adds a burst of freshness to the finished product.

2.	In a large frying pan, melt butter on medium heat.
3.	Add the carrots and sugar to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the carrots are browned.
4.	Add the hot vegetable broth and continue cooking for 20-25 minutes.

6.	Season with salt and white pepper, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
