Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 c baby carrots
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, chopped
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 Tbsp shallots, chopped
2 Tbsp honey
1/2 c orange juice
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1/4 c water
1 Tbsp fresh mint, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the carrots on the diagonal. (I keep them whole).
  • 2. Heat the oil in a 9-inch saute pan over moderate heat.
  • 3. Add the carrots and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per side.
  • 4. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 5. Add the ginger, garlic, and shallots and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are softened, 5-7 minutes.
  • 6. Add the honey, orange juice, soy sauce and water.
  • 7. Cover with a round of waxed paper that fits snugly on the vegetables.
  • 8. Cook the carrots slowly on top of the stove, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the juices have formed a glaze, 30-40 minutes.
  • 9. Garnish with the mint.
