Delicious Carrots

I tried these for the first time the other day. Loved them! Of course you need to be a lover of sauteed onions to appreciate these.
- 1 chicken oxo cube
- 1/4 cup boiling water
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup margarine
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- dash of pepper
- cooked carrots

Cook the amount of carrots needed for your family. Dissolve the chicken oxo in the boiling water. Separately saute the onion in the margarine. Mix flour, salt and pepper and add to onions. Then add oxo mixture. Mix well and pour over cooked carrots.
