For a richer flavor, substitute chicken broth for vegetable broth. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle warmth. If using regular carrots, peel and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds before braising. Fresh herbs are preferred, but dried herbs can be substituted. Use half the amount of dried herbs if substituting.
