Method

  1. Put the cumin seeds in a dry frying pan set over a lowish heat. Cook for a few minutes, tossing in the pan, until they smell fragrant and have darkened slightly. Grind them in a spice or coffee grinder.
  2. Put the carrots in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Add a few pinches of salt, then bring to the boil. Turn the heat to low and cook very gently for 3-4 minutes. Drain.
  3. Whisk the oil, lemon juice and sugar, then stir in the garlic and 1⁄4 tsp salt. Stir in the cumin and paprika. Mix well with the carrots, then leave to cool, stirring occasionally. Toss in the coriander and lemon zest. Serve at room temperature.

    A very different way to cook carrots Loved the cumin hint, but would put a little more lemon in next time.

    I slightly modified the recipe but it was delicious. I would definitely do it again. I cut out the coriander and garlic (because the people I was cooking for didn't like them), cut back on the sugar to 1 tsp (because I don't like things too sweet; honey would probably work well too), and cheated with the cummin, using powdered. It was delicious.

    Very pleasant. I reduced the sugar, however.

A splash of lemon adds punch to these mildly spicy carrots with Moroccan flavours.
