I highly recommend the source for this slow-cooked Italian recipe! A cookbook named Gennaro Slow Cook Italian by Gennaro Contaldo.  If you enjoy slow-cooking not only meats and stews, but vegetables, desserts and breads as well, and you adore Italian food, this cookbook is for you.  Filled with Italian-style comfort food dishes, this simple side dish is a mixture of carrots, celery and shallots baked in a low heat oven until tender and caramelized.  They are topped with an herbed olive oil mixture that really brightens up the overall dish!  I added some whole garlic cloves to the pan as well, just for extra flare.
