Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 lb. small carrots -- peeled

2 Tbs. vegetable oil

Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper -- to taste

1 Tbs. chopped fresh ginger

1 tsp. chopped garlic

1 Tbs. chopped shallots

2 Tbs. honey

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

1 Tbs. soy sauce

1/4 cup water

1 Tbs. chopped fresh mint

 

Cut the carrots on the diagonal into 3-inch lengths. Cut thicker pieces in half

lengthwise to make them uniform in size. Heat the oil in a 9-inch sauté pan over

moderate heat. Add the carrots and cook until lightly browned on all sides,

about 3 min. per side. Season with salt and pepper. Add the ginger, garlic, and

shallots and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the

shallots are softened, 5 to 7 min. Add the honey, orange juice, soy sauce, and

water. Cover with a round of waxed paper that fits snugly on the vegetables.

Cook the carrots slowly on top of the stove, stirring occasionally, until the

carrots are tender and the juices have formed a glaze, 30 to 40 min. Garnish

with the mint.

 

Description:

" The caramelized sugars of the carrots are enhanced by honey and

balanced by the acidity of orange juice. "
