A simple and tasty side dish from Fine Cooking. I don't cut the carrots as stated, I just use whole baby carrots.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups baby carrots
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon ginger, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon shallot, chopped
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon of fresh mint, chopped

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.

I'm not a huge fan of carrots, but these were actually really good. The glaze was sweet and tangy, and the mint added a refreshing flavor.

These 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.

I 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.

These carrots were just okay. They were a little bland and the glaze was too thick.

I made these carrots for Easter dinner and they were a big hit! They were so easy to make and they looked so festive on the table.

These carrots were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of brown sugar next time.

Easy to make and very tasty. I used baby carrots and they were done in about 15 minutes. The glaze was delicious and the mint added a nice touch of freshness.
