Peel or scrub the Carrots (Tom scours his)
Bring 400ml Water, 200ml Rape Seed Oil (or a light Olive Oil) and 150g Sugar to a simmer with a few Star Anise dropped in
Add the Carrots
Gently simmer for 45 minutes or so, until the Carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced by half
Serve immediately – with a spoon of the juice (less to be on the super healthy side). Onion Glazed Beef would be delicious with this carrot dish
[Occasionally I think there is too extravagant amount of oil involved in this - and so I halve the liquid ingredients whilst still cramming lots of carrots in. This still tastes very good but you might want to move the carrots around a bit more during cooking]
