I have made this before and saw James martin doing this on TV recently.<br />
<br />
This is my take on this recipe, slightly changed by adding half an [[Orange|orange]] and not bothering about the [[Butter|butter]], or reducing the results to a syrup. The [[Carrots|carrots]] have plenty of flavour already, without needing extra [[Oils|oils]] or butter.<br />
<br />
Use about one medium to large [[Carrot|carrot]] for each person. The thinner the strips of carrot, the more intese the flavours are.<br />
{{RecipeIngredients<br />
<br />
| 2 large or medium [[Carrots|carrots]]<br />
| 5 whole [[Star anise|star anise]]<br />
| Half an orange, with peel, sliced<br />
| 2 teaspoons [[Sea Salt|sea salt]]<br />
| 1 tablespoon [[Demerara sugar|demerara sugar]]<br />
| Enough water to cover the [[Carrots|carrots]] by 5 cm<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Method===<br />
{{RecipeMethod<br />
<br />
| Peel the [[Carrots|carrots]] and slice lengthways into fairly thin strips, about 10cm thick<br />
| Add the [[Spices|spices]], [[Salt|salt]] and [[Sugar|sugar]] to the water<br />
| Bring to the [[Boil|boil]] and [[Simmer|simmer]] vigorously for 25 minutes or until cooked to you liking.<br />
| Remove the [[Spices|spices]], drain and serve.<br />
