### INSTRUCTIONS

|
|
In a large (4-quart) saucepan, heat the oil over medium. When hot, add the garlic cloves and onion. Cook, stirring regularly, until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients, along with 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, partially cover and simmer, stirring from time to time, until the carrots are crisp-tender and the jalapeños have turned olive-green, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste and season with more salt if necessary. Pour into a heat-proof storage container and cool. Cover and refrigerate for a day before using. They will keep for months refrigerated in a sealed container. |
