Vegetable: Honeyed Curried Carrots

Serves 4 to 6
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes

1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1 pound carrots, peeled, trimmed, and cut into 1/4 inch rounds (or about 1 inch lengthwise)
2 tablespoons curry power
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
salt and freshly ground pepper
Finely chopped coriander or parsley for garnish

1. Heat the butter or oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and curry powder and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the orange juice and honey. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 3 minutes.

2. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until the liquid in the pan is almost evaporated and the carrots are crisp-tender. (Cooking time will vary depending upon how small you cut up the carrots.) Season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with chipped parsley or coriander.
