Hi Pamela, Susan from the Curio Kitchen here. Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your success and your tip for making this a vegan recipe. So glad the carrots turned out well!

As a vegan, I made this without butter, instead adding a tablespoon of almond butter (very spreadable/liquidy) with the water and shallots. It turned out amazing.
