I have made this before and saw James martin doing this on TV recently.
This is my take on this recipe, slightly changed by adding half an orange and not bothering about the butter, or reducing the results to a syrup. The carrots have plenty of flavour already, without needing extra oils or butter.
Use about one medium to large carrot for each person. The thinner the strips of carrot, the more intese the flavours are.
