This is a sure way to liven up carrots. The mint and molasses are an unusual combination, but they really go well together.
RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the carrots in a large saucepan or skillet. Cover with water and boil for 10 minutes or until just tender. Drain well and return to the saucepan.
2. Whisk together the molasses, vinegar and olive oil in a small bowl. Add to the carrots and sauté over high heat for 5 minutes or until the sauce is heated through and the carrots are coated. Place on a platter, garnish with fresh mint and serve.
INGREDIENTS
1 lb thin carrots (about 6 inches long), peeled and trimmed
