the bacon brings enough fat to replace the butter in the traditional version with the hint of mustard to bring a great kick of flavours . simple and delicious !
In a wide saucepan, sauté the bacon over medium heat until just coloured.
Add the carrots with the honey, mustard and enough stock or water to just cover the carrots. Season to taste.
Cover with a cartouche or a lid and bring to the boil,
then cook over a moderate to high heat for about 12-15 minutes until the carrots are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from the heat and set aside to keep warm until needed.
Just before serving, sprinkle the chives over the carrots, toss to coat.
Serve immediately.
