A traditional dish served during Hanukkah, carrot tzimmes are usually made with honey. We’ve substituted agave in this vegan Jewish recipe.

Carrot Tzimmes

Serves 8

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds carrots, peeled, sliced or diced
• Water to cover
• 1/2 cup agave
• Juice of 1 small lemon
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Salt to taste
• 3 tablespoons vegan butter

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine carrots, water, agave, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt.
2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Remove cover and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until the liquid is reduced and forms a glaze on the carrots.
4. Add the vegan butter and stir until it is melted. Serve hot.
