Sautéed Carrots with Bacon & Onion

Total time: 25 minutes
     Based on an Italian recipe using pancetta.  The bacon works well with the sweet carrots and cooking off the pan juices leaves them with a lovely glaze.

 Ingredients: 

• 2 - 3 medium carrots, 240gr, 8.5oz
• 1 tsp olive oil, 4.5gr, .16oz
• 2 slices bacon or Prosciutto (different taste...), 16gr, .56oz cooked, drained bacon
• 1 small onion or 1/2 large, 88gr, 3.1oz
• pepper

 Instructions:

• Peel carrots, cut in half, then each half again so you have carrot sticks.
• Chop onion.
• Put oil in small skillet and add bacon, frying until crisp.
• Remove bacon and all but 1 tbs fat.
• Add onions and sauté until transparent.
• Add carrots and 1/4 cup water, cover and simmer until done - about 15 minutes.
• Uncover, turn heat up a bit and cook off pan juices.
• Crumble bacon.
• Add bacon and pepper to carrots and serve.
