Steps:
- 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 saute pan over moderate heat.
- Add the carrots and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 3 minutes 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, 5-7 minutes.
- 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, 30-40 minutes.
- Garnish with the mint.

k_s@yahoo.comThese carrots were a total flop. They were mushy and the glaze was burnt. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

s@hotmail.frI love this recipe! The carrots are always perfectly glazed and the mint adds a really nice touch. I've also tried using different types of citrus fruits, like grapefruit and lemon, and they all work well.
