I use heirloom carrots because they are colorful. red, yellow, orange,.purple, green,.makes a colorful dish. but regular carrots will do just fine.
I make this when I have leftover Italian sausages from a bbq. if using fresh sausage...cook sausage first by slicing into the coin shapes and saute in skillet with a bit of oil before adding carrots and water. or grill whole on grill until done then slice.
