Ingredients:  
1 lb. large carrots
2 tbsp. butter or olive oil
3 oz. green olives pitted (about 24)
1 large garlic clove, sliced
1 tbsp. chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 sprigs thyme
salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tbsp. heavy cream.
Directions:
Directions:
Peel carrots, cut in half crosswise, quarter the thicker ends lengthwise and halve the thinner ends. Place in an electric slow cooker or heavy skillet wide enough to hold the carrots in one layer.

Add half the butter or olive oil, cover the slow cooker, set the heat to high and cook, stirring once for 2-3 hours, or until very tender. If substituting a skillet on top of stove, set on a heat diffuser over very low heat. Add a few tablespoons water, cover with a round of parchment paper and a tight fitting lid, and cook until very tender about 1 hour.

Drain the carrots on paper towels and let rest or put in skillet on low heat until most of liquid has evaporated.
About 10 minutes before serving, melt the remaining butter in a medium skillet over moderate heat. Add the garlic and parsley and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the carrots, thyme, olives and salt and pepper. Cook stirring, until glazed. Pour in the cream, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 5 minutes and serve.
