Return the vegetables to the saucepan. Add butter and shallots and toss. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.

I added some halved baby potatoes to this, and that worked well. I found this recipe a bit bland, and thought my husband liked it a lot as is, I would double the shallots next time. A nice fall side dish.
Yes, scraping is a way of peeling a carrot except that instead of using a peeler you use the back edge of a chef’s knife and drag it along the skin towards (or away from) you while holding the carrot in your other palm. It removes a somewhat thinner layer than peeling. This is how a boyfriend of mine was taught in culinary school decades ago.
Does "scrape" the carrots mean to peel them?
Always a winner (I've been making this combination since 60-minute Gourmet ran the recipe years ago). A great side dish to a steak or fish. Depending on the freshness of the vegetables it may take a few more minutes until they are tender. But then it can sit a bit (drained and back into the pot with the butter and shallots).
