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 carrots - depending on size and hunger
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 2 slices bacon or Prosciutto (different taste...)
• 1/2 onion, chopped

 Instructions:

• Peel carrots, cut in half, then each half again so you have carrot sticks. 
• Put oil in small skillet and add bacon / Prosciutto, 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 / Prosciutto, add carrots and serve.
