Copper Pennies

Copper Pennies

  • 1 pound carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  •  1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 8 ounces canned, no-salt-added tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (low sodium)
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

1. Put the carrots in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the bell pepper and onion and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the vegetables in a colander.

2. In the same pot, stir together the remaining ingredients. Cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in the vegetables, tossing to coat. Serve warm. (Or, to serve as a cold salad, cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.)
