Carrots and Peas are a classic! Not just in the Netherlands, but also in other European Countries this is a combination aten more often. The sweetness of the carrots goes very well with the taste of peas. I added some potatoes to this dish to add healthy carbs. However, if you like, you can replace them by parsnip as well. By the way, you are going to love this sauce!
