Step 1

Cook bacon in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat until brown and crisp, about 5 minutes.

Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels and drain. Discard all but 2 tablespoons drippings from pan.

Add onions and carrots; sauté until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and cook for 2 minutes more.
