Ingredients




5 mediums sized carrots, peeled and sliced (2 cups)
1 tangerine, juiced (1/4 cup/seeds removed)
1 teaspoon zest from  the tangerine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon blue agave nectar
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Chopped flat-leaf parsley as optional garnish

Preparation

1 Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a simmer. 2 Cover and cook at a simmer for 5 - 7 minutes, until the carrots are quite tender. 3 Uncover and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the liquid has evaporated and the carrots are lightly glazed, remove from the heat. 4 Taste carefully for salt and pepper (the sugar from the nectar can burn!) 5 Serve immediately, or take off the heat, cover and set aside for a few minutes until ready to serve.
