This dish is so easy to make it’s hard to believe it could taste as good as it does. Turn it into dinner by serving it over a bowlful of pasta, rice, or cornmeal purée.
Finely chop the onions. Peel and slice the carrots ¼ inch thick. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes, and, if you like your food hot and spicy, seed and mince the jalapeños.
Heat the oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots, reduce the heat to low, and simmer covered until somewhat tender, about 3 minutes.
