Lenten Recipe: Glazed Carrots

Glazed Baby Carrots

1 lb baby carrots
1 cup vegetable broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional
1 t sugar
1 t olive oil

Choose a sauté pan large enough that the carrots will fit on a single layer. Cover the carrots with the broth. Cover and bring the carrots to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and cook in partially covered pan until broth and natural carrot juices are reduced to a a thick brown syrup. If using oil, add to the pan. Swirl carrots in glaze.

To make a sweeter glaze add sugar to carrots and broth before cooking.

The glaze can be flavored with lemon juice, herbs, balsamic vinegar or anything that will complement the main meal.
