Here is a simple recipe I thought of a few years ago.  The lemon juice, pepper, and carrots go really well together and it is a nice change from plain carrots or other types of carrot additions.

Zesty Carrots and/or Green Beans

1 lb. carrots

Green beans

1-2 TB lemon juice

black pepper

butter or margarine (optional)

Boil carrots and/or green beans till done.  Drain but leave about 1/3 cup water with carrots.  Add lemon juice.  Grind in a fair amount of black pepper.  Toss with butter or margarine till melted.  Simmer to combine flavors.
