Stella Morelli's tips

If you're doubling this recipe to feed four people, make sure you use the largest frypan that you have. You need a good surface area to caramelise the carrots and to ensure the sauce thickens.

Really easy & very yummy. Fresh thyme & the cracked pepper at the end is a must
Very yum. Mustard and orange is a great combination. Only i will cut them smaller next time as it took very long before tender.

These carrots were nice, I used huge carrots, I thought I cut them small enough but they were still a bit underdone for me, I used a large frypan, the water evaporated really quickly, so next time I'll try more water.

Baked in oven at 160 degrees Celsius for approximately 25 minutes as cooking another dish on the stove. Used a miso and sesame marinade as I didn’t have dijon mustard. Tasty dish. Will try stir fry another time.

These were so lovely. They look burnt but they aren’t, lovely and caramelised. The Dijon and orange was a yummy combo with the thyme. Easy, quick and impressed my dinner guest.

Really easy and didn’t take any longer than it would have taken me to do plain steamed carrots. I used a seeded honey mustard and it complemented beautifully. I’m going to try a seeded ginger and orange mustard next time.
