1 Tbsp cinnamon

1 Tbsp black pepper

1 ginger root – chopped

Lettuce leaves

1 large platter

White wine

You love bacon...and you want bacon...right? 

Well here is a “fake out” for bacon...

In a skillet over “Medium” heat, combine olive oil and julienne carrots. Saute the carrots until golden brown and then blend cinnamon, black pepper and chopped ginger root into the skillet. Stir the mixture until well blended. Next, remove the skillet from your stove and drain any excess olive oil from the mixture. Lastly, sit the skillet to the side and place lettuce leaves on a large platter. Pour the carrot mixture in the center of the leaves. Enjoy this light dish with a glass of white wine..or two glasses of wine!!
