Ginger Carrots

I was fretting about this dish.  I had not made it in a while and was not quite sure how I used to do it.  So i approached it with some angst,  but it seemed to turn out okay.  Even Lia liked it.

Peel and cut too many carrots from your favorite farmer to be as closely the same size as possible.  Heat olive oil or other favorite oil in a big saute pan and brown in batches if necessary, removing to a bowl.

Add more oil to pan and saute too many minced shallots and too much minced ginger.  De glaze a bit with some orange juice.

Throw carrots back into pan.  Add a mixture of Orange juice, honey, soy sauce, black pepper and water back to pan.  Bring to a boil.  Then lower heat as much as possible.  Cover with wax paper and lid if necessary.  Braise for up to an hour until carrots are as you like them.

Stir in fresh chopped mint and a little salt to taste if necessary.
