Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound carrots, cut diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon sugar
a pinch of cayenne
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste

  • In a steamer set over boiling water steam the carrots, covered, for 8 minutes, or until they are just tender. In a skillet cook the garlic in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, for 1 minute, or until it is fragrant, add the cumin, the cinnamon, the sugar, the cayenne, and the carrots, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute, or until the carrots are well-coated with the mixture. Stir in the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste, transfer the carrots to a bowl, and let them cool to room temperature.
