Ingredients

1 tablespoon cold-pressed sesame oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
3 cups carrots, in 1/2-inch slices
1 tablespoon red miso
3/4 cup vegetable broth or water
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 teaspoon grated ginger root
1/4 teaspoon roasted sesame oil
Salt and ground pepper to taste

Steps:

In medium, heavy skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes, until soft on edges but not brown.
In small bowl, cream miso with 1/4 cup broth. Stir this mixture, remaining broth, orange zest and ginger into carrots and onions. Reduce heat, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, until liquid is reduced to a glaze and carrots are crisp-tender.
Stir in roasted sesame oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
